As Waterstones prepares to eliminate punctuation from its brand, citing a need for "a more versatile and practical spelling in the digital world of URLs and email addresses", Internet boffins has announced it would actually be 'piss easy' to allow punctuation in URLs and email addresses, including uppper- and lower-case characters and spaces. In fact the only reason why these are not allowed at present is because early Internet programmers did not recognise the need for these extra characters, not having read a proper book, ever.
The change will mean the end of confusion over the meaning of URLS such as therapist.com. Soon you will simply be able to type The Rapist.com. penisland.net will lead to a lot less disappointment more many. And Google will, for the first time, be known under the more appropriate name, Go Ogle.
