Best Answer

It is now correct to use WW 1 not WWI because of the confusion with the Roman Numeral I. Many young people have not learned the Roman Numeral System and the computer does not recognize it either. So the proper designations are WW2 and WW1 and it is preferable for the full wording to avoid confusion with WWW, world wide web.

So it is preferable to use World War 1 and World War 2. Times and technology changes.
