Some TLDs get rejected or autocorrected by broken validators. I've had foo.dev changed to foo.de.
replyI was on the application for the .name top level domain back in 2000 and then there was a reasonable excuse for that - we were in the first new batch of TLDs. We had to contact a lot of site owners to try to smooth the path. But given the number of new TLDs since, you'd think people would've learnt.
replyI have a .name account and still occasionally run into sites that don't accept it.
replyThis drives me insane. Lazy input boxes that only accept email domains from the big names.
replyTradeoff: Failing to accept a limited number of rarer domain. Vs. all the errors caused by idiots who can't spell mgail.com, or gmail.cmo, or gmali.com, gmail.kom, or whatever the heck that thing is.
