Country code domains are common in many countries outside the USA. If it's clear I'm not local, something like "yahoo.ca" or "mail.ru" is not confusing, except perhaps for Colombians (.co). A local with an address in the "wrong" country can be confusing if it's obscure. Within a country, using a less-common second level domain (e.g. .org.uk) for a personal domain can be confusing. I've had people say "so that's example.org.uk.com then?" or "what was that, symbiote-example.org.uk@gmail?"
