Camel case is very important because I just came across a post with #whoremembers and I got excited because I thought it was #WhoreMembers until I realized it's just #WhoRemembers.

@Alice In a whole other life, I was running the systems for an animation studio which had worked on a few minor things before I arrived. I was looking at the domains which we had registered, and one of them puzzled me, until I learned that it was cautionary, as they had produced a cartoon called Emma's Wings...

@Alice

Works with domains too, which are obvs not case sensitive. Remember when an electricity company in Italy went with a new domain, and it took a moment for some people to see that it was supposed to be

PowergenItalia.whatever
and not
PowerGenitalia.whatever

@sand @Alice As someone with ADHD, this sign would totally make me see a *different* therapist

@Alice At my university in Mexico, the Faculty of Science's Academic Council (Consejo Académico, in Spanish) had a website whose URL ended in cacademico, which I always read as "caca de mico", monkey poop.

[kimlockhartga@beige.party]

@Alice I read it that way, too! I thought it was a Whores of Yore thing.

@Alice The classic in Europe is the domain name for Power Gen Italia.

Ah yes, the good old #psychotherapist conundrum

[slothrop@chaos.social]

@Alice ah, my favorite example is the Lake Tahoe tourist association (whatever they’re called) and their #gotahoe campaign

[alice@beige.party]

@sand Maybe because it makes me feel good to know that people appreciate my dumb jokes? No complaints here!

[cascheranno@hachyderm.io]

@Alice love those ‘..oohhh’ moments… an old classic:

@Alice

OK my question, is what exactly was it about WhoreMembers that got you excited?

[overtondoors@infosec.exchange]

An understandable case of misplaced elation @Alice I too read it disappointed.

[benroyce@mastodon.social]

@Alice

i'm a man, and i'm laughing at your post

just some #manslaughter

[chronovore@infosec.exchange]

@Alice why not combine the communities? #whoreremembers - everyone wins!

[jens@social.finkhaeuser.de]

@Alice the canonical example on the Intarwebs is expertsexchange.com

[seanplynch@mastodon.social]

@Alice

#HowTogether vs #HowToGetHer

[adriano@lile.cl]

@oantolin @Alice I mean, even reading it as-is, "cacadémico" is "poopademic"

[adriano@lile.cl]

@bytebro @Alice
penisland and expertsexchange were the famous cases, yeah.

[wolf@helvede.net]

@aburtch @Alice Let's not forget the other similarly genuine classics: Mole Station Nursery, Experts Exchange, Choose Spain, and PowerGen Italia that became domain names with only the "dot" extension.
