That is why we put the dashes in our domain name: s-and-d-acres.farm It makes the interpretation clear.

I saw an ad for a webdesign company but I have my doubts about the url. The name was "web one", nothing wrong with that. The url is webone.be or am I the only one who finds it funny :) Probably am. It's friday...
the funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realise it doesn't say anything it's to late to stop reading it
:thumbsup: I need a little humor after my latest dealing with a webdesign company. The Sr. partner decided our company website needed a new look...something 'modern'. :| Until then, all website maintenance/design was my responsibility...but I'm apparently no designer, so the partner knew of a guy who had just started a webdesign/marketing outfit. 6 months later, I'm learning how to use WordPress to edit every single hyperlink to relative. I had given him a sub-domain to build it (as he didn't have his own resources). I had expected to be handed a completed finished package for deployment, but apparently I don't know how these things work. Anyway, the plan from the beginning was to build it under a sub-domain, then simply switch the default website on the server when it was ready. This was why I wasted the effort emphasizing that all links should be relative. Yeah, it worked just fine for the demo and I'm sure the guy already got paid. I knew upfront that I would be the one maintaining it. :sigh: This doesn't even begin to deal with the horrible design...huge background images and huge fonts. The main landing page shows a menu, one headline and a short blurb until scrolled. I suppose you could say it's a very minimalistic approach emphasizing the use of bright colors/background images, large fonts, and some weird scrolling effects and banners. :| But wait there's more...in order to provide consistency, new content must be created using a proprietary WordPress theme builder.

Wow, I didn't get the joke until after reading this reply and checking back on the original. I thought it was a far fetched joke on sounding like web onebe (sounds like: web wannabe) :doh:

Kid sex change wouldn't be so unthinkable these days. It happens :~ On the other hand, I'm not sure what a kids exchange would be. Is that like a trading platform for kids? :omg: That wouldn't be so weird either, I've often heard people say "You want kids? You can have mine, I haven't slept for days" :laugh:

I don't understand the name either. It seems to be a kids clothing company. It was just one of a list of "funny domain names" mentioned on an episode of QI.

It is far more common to run into an email address field that does not accept anything other than the old stand-bys: .com, .org, .gov, .mil and so forth. :(
