Superior ability to answer posts?  Confused

Note: Also, I hope everyone has voted on your decidedly important poll.  It looks like you are winning.

I was originally going to post something very similar to what Kata posted, but since he did it first, I went with the comedy option.

we would pronounce .us as .oz (but we're foreign and us = us in dutch, no matter if it's a country code) same thing for the .nu extension we say .nuu (as nu = now in dutch). We would not use .you ess neither would we use .enn you.

well that's a foreign view on it, do with it what you like but don't try to sue me aight?  Ner Ner

Well, after seeing ALL the written out versions of .US in this thread, I was surprised and astounded that no one committed a typo and mistakenly wrote:

"dot you ass"

As so many of us are so famous for typos!  Smile

But, I guess if you had a Southern drawl, you would probably write it this way.  Smile
