I've been wondering for several weeks now how to pronounce 3^^^3.

I generally just look at it as a picture, so as to not waste time sub-vocalizing.

Three to the to the to the three is how I do it.

I generally say "triple-hat" to myself when I read it.

3↑↑↑3. The use of ^ instead is a limitation of ASCII.
Knuth called it the "triple-arrow" operator. I don't see any conjugations necessary, so "three triple-arrow three".
"Three pentated by three" also works.
