@James Rhodes Well you have a typo-name, they were just trying to correct it for you Why is it spelled as ‘Roket’ anyway?

I am talking about the title. In the magazine it’s spelt RocketGames and right underneath that the address is linked as roket-games.com.

What I mean is: If the web address is roket-games.com, why would you spell it RocketGames? I can understand people doing that when they aren’t linking to the site, but when you write the web address correctly right underneath where you’ve put RocketGames… well, that’s just being lazy.

Philip Gamble :
@F But I have yet to see a domain name with a space in it.

That would be something, wouldn’t it?

@James Rhodes Thought you were talking about title, not address. So yeah. I see what you mean.

no, they were very clear it would be broadcast this weekend, and its Caniac, not Carniac.

@F: The difference there is one version lacks a space and the other does not. That is not as significant as when people add in the c.

YoYoGames YoYo Games
RoketGames RocketGames

See how the addition of a c is much more significant than the addition of a space? There could be another gaming site called RocketGames as well as RoketGames, whereas the space makes no difference in the name of the site.

That doesn’t make any sense. What about “YoYoGames” and “YoYo Games”. You expect people to know the difference? You need to tell them. It’s not obvious.

I wish people would stop misspelling RoketGames. I mean, the web address is clearly roket-games.com and all the references I make to it are spelling RoketGames, so why would you spell it Rocket Games?

I know that people sometimes think it’s a spelling mistake, but come on – they wrote the URL right below where they said “Rocket Games”. It’s really not hard to double-check…
