If anyone still wants a simple cool TLD .com, try out names with hyphens. They're almost completely unexplored and I personally see no downside (except typing the domain in a mobile keyboard but who types domains anyways).

I’ve seen hyphenated .biz domains.

That's an interesting writing style.

This is weird. I've had this comment here before, not a lot, but once every few months. What is it in particular? Punctuation? Adjective clauses? No, I am not a computer.

It's a staccato speaking style with articles/embellishment removed, but written in text. I like the effect, personally, and use it sometimes when speaking and rarely when writing.

Often people respond with Office reference: "Why use many word when few word do trick". Amusing. Novel reference. Haven't heard before.

You have lots of small sentences, and some of them lack the words to make it a complete one. For example, instead of starting a sentence with "Smart guy, ...", most people would write something like "He's a smart guy". Or instead of "An interesting conversation", people would write "We had many interesting conversations" or something along those lines.

Like fine. Easy understand. Criticism in thread unwarranted.

Love this! FYI site is broken in portrait mode iOS safari.

There’s something funny about an otherwise very advanced project being broken due to css issues.

No matter how far you advance in the field you will still need to google how to center a div

Curious, are there any sites that you use that have a hyphen in domain? Seems like about ~1% of the top 500 websites use a hyphen in domain.

Experts Exchange has a hyphen because the words can read differently when run together.

You mean the minus sign? Few know how to type the actual unicode hyphen with the keyboard. Not to be confused with dash, but short or long one?... and here start your problems.
