I get the 'simon@gmail' thing just because most of the people I talk to would know that gmail is a .com. The others are definitely annoying. I've even had people say things to me like 'simon@blahblah' and I've said 'ok, [email protected]?' and they reply 'no, [email protected]'. I guess some people just think their domains are more well known than they are. Or the ones where they have an email like '[email protected]' and they say it super fast like I'm going to be able to remember that.

Mostly my response right now if someone tries to give me an email address verbally is just 'email me at [email protected] and I'll reply!', which is a lazy response, but saves going through the above scenario. Maybe I should just get a domain like b.xyz and have my email be [email protected] to help solve this for others.

I find a high percentage of people will not say the “dot” before com. Like “af@afmugcom <mailto:%E2%80%9Caf@afmugcom>”. Then I have to ask whether they really are leaving out the dot, or just not saying it, that ends up being up about 50/50. Then there are the people who leave out the tld entirely, like “simon@sonar”or <mailto:%E2%80%9Csimon@sonar%E2%80%9Dor> “simon@gmail <mailto:%E2%80%9Csimon@gmail>”, and you have to ask them if they are really leaving out the “.com”, or assuming the other person knows what they mean.

The struggles we go through without having a .com domain. Everytime I read my email address to someone over the phone, they say 'ok, [email protected]..'

We're just ahead of the curve Jaime!
