I had to deal with an accountant to get advice on how to file taxes after the sale of a private company.
They needed information from a third party. I gave the accountant the third party's email address, firstname@lastname.co.
The transaction was taking a while to get resolved. After repeated followups, the accountant finally told me that he was having a hard time getting a hold of the third party. Was I sure that their address was firstname@lastname.com?
Like... what the heck. We're all corresponding over email. You could have literally clicked the email address in the email that I sent you. But instead, somehow you've mangled it and are confused that it doesn't work?
That was instructive for me. .com TLDs only going forward!
- mxuribe 4y agoI hear ya! I've had my own last name .CC for well over a decade...and i still get the occasional "Did you mean .COM?" ....so nowadays i premptively state my email is: xyz@whatever.CC (that's .CC and NOT .COM)....and people get it nowadays more than in the past, though its funny that its only my fellow Americans who are not used to TLDs which are not .com, .net, .org. ;-)
