It's OK! The "dot-com" may be returning to respectability. One analyst says "dot-com," which for a couple of years now has been a scourge among suffixes, isn't as doused in disses as it used to be. That's mainly because companies are more careful how they use the term. These days firms aren't so hip to hop on the bandwagon; they add "dot-com" where they see fit and not just to be trendy and cool.
