Abbreviated internetarchive.ch ?

  URLs don't admit abbreviations. "url shorteners" are page redirects.

    They are suggesting that a human used an abbreviation rather than making a typo.

      "Using abbreviations" of URLs is pointing to *wrong* addresses. A phishing attempt can perfectly use this misconception. This is not even malpractice. I am not saying the user in question is malicious. I am sorry to repeat myself, but URLs don't admit abbreviations

        Oh, so you admit to purposely playing dense by asking if it was a typo, to obliquely make a pedantic argument about phishing? I hate this fucking website sometimes.

          Thanks for trying. I assumed that ia.ch was clearly shorthand for internetarchive.ch but maybe one can't assume anything.

            Assumed same. Good point we shouldn’t abbreviate URLs in case they get typosquatted? Just raised in a very indirect fashion

        Wait was that right in the sibling comment
