How Do You Spell Dot Com?
from the do-we-really-care? dept
According to Random House, which is adding the term to their dictionary, it should be spelled "dot-com". It's also acceptable to write it "dot.com" (which makes no sense to me). They don't like "dotcom" or just ".com". I'm not sure that anyone really cares which one Random House approves. Personally, I'm a big fan of simply "dot com" or trying not to use the term at all...
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
