The truth about domain endings

[UniSol]

I just found this out today! Internet domains are meant to have a (.) after them but software was changed so you don't have to enter it. Of course the . still works.

I.E. www.k3v.com.

Am I alone in my illiteracy? come on be honest?

Don't you finish a sentence with a period??

I guess not!

Seriously - never heard of that before.

 

[mafiafromrussia]

[damnyank]

Hey mafiafromrussia - that was supposed to be a joke - or did you not notice that I ended a sentence with a question mark and another sentence with an exclamation mark???

 

[mafiafromrussia]

Hey Doc - I meant I never heard of a dot (period) at the end of a URL before.

Of course I have heard of and know about "full stops" - I even do that sometimes at "STOP" signs!
