In this modern day URL's or homepage addresses are becoming more and more common as people and companies get on the web. But please, be careful. When you place your name or your company's name into a URL address and the spaces are removed, consider what people see when looking at the page. The human eye will put the 'spaces' where the meaning may be changed. In other words, where you stick your spaces may not be where I stick mine.
Examples are:
"Big Al's Bowling Alley" with the slogan "I love big Al's" becomes "ilovebigals" when put into URL form. Some of you might like bi gals, but really, I don't think that's the intended meaning.
"Mole Station Nursery" becomes "molestationnursery" a rather unfortunate name indeed. Suffice it to say the company spent money changing the name to "molerivernursery". Much better.
A British firm of tree surgeons in France "Les Bocages" becomes "lesbocages". Yeah, keep them lesbians in those cages! LOL
An electric company in Italy called Powergen put up their URL powergenitalia.
The list goes on and on, but here's one more for fun. A bed spread company named La Drape in Britain listed www.ladrape.com.uk Now, that is just unfortunate.
I am Mark Alders, writer, intactivist, post office worker, and all round nice guy...except when someone steals my chocolate! I am a proud Australian, and as such use different spellings and have some weird phrases, too. Hey, perhaps that's why I write some damn weird shit!
I can't change who I am.
So when you read one of my books, enjoy the ride, but please don't say I can't spell. I spell how I damn well feel like it! LOL Naw seriously, I spell like an Aussie...do forgive me because we are a breed unto ourselves. Where else can a place have 11 registered public holidays and no one has any idea what they are for except to have a BBQ and down some beers!
If you do find a genuine error in my work, please let me know so I can speak with my editor...also, as an addition to that, offer chocolates as well. Lots of chocolates.
*hugs*
Mark
