No, not necessarily. The US simply buttigned everyone else a national designation to be appended beyond the .com, but none to itself, leaving itself as the "default" with its typical egocentricity and arrogance. But since those overseeing the .com domains in the US have allowed it to become completely polluted -- buttigning domains in this register to organisations that aren't what .com was designed to signify -- the whole system has broken down, and a lot of people now have questioned why they should comply with a US-determined system when the Americans (typically, predictably) don't even abide by their own rules.

In any case, my point was that wherever you are, you write as if you appear to expect everyone else to share the same frame of reference and outlook on the world, which isn't a fair or wise buttumption. It's probably not your fault; it's what Americans do.

You raised the subject, mate, with an intended slur that I think is demonstrably untrue. If you can't handle being disagreed with, then that's OK.

I don't have a clue what you're trying to say here. You're on what's supposed to be a Celtic newslist trying to rubbish Celtic spelling ???

Umm, that was someone else's post, but it's really not hard to see the connection between the two names, surely ? And just so we're clear, "Padraig" (which is specifically Irish) was the original; if you want to put it this way, it's "Patrick" that's spelled incorrectly, by people who didn't understand the language.

This is such a strange comment. Are you trying to mock my name ? It's a perfectly good name in Gaelic, Irish and Welsh.

But talking about names, since you're an American, you might like to know that in Australia "Chuck" means to vomit; "Randy" means loveually aroused; and when people "root" at a sports event it brings up images of them all having love in the stands.

It's a big world, mate. Please try to remember that not everyone is an American, or talks like one.
