So what do you guys think to Spanish .info?

Apart from the real Tier 1 obvious premiums, what about the lesser dictionary words?

I supposed they may not have value now but if IDN truly grabs hold in years to come then they should be?

I guess existing dictionary .info domain valuations should provide some sort of idea. I'm just surprised not to see more written about the recent landrush.

Maybe I'm missing the point, are these .info useless?

I think they should alias it to .infos

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the Spanish for "information" has singular and plural, and the plural is used a lot more in the shortened form.

We are talking about spoken language.

At least in German, it's very common to say "mehr infos" (more info).

tikonenko, I didn't have anything against you personally but I added you to my ignore list after I seen your new avatar - that thing is extremely offensive to me. I wonder why you feel the need to use such a disgusting picture.

Vbulletin doesn't show a person's avatar or their post if they are on your ignore list.

Hi tikonenko,

I did that but I'm not sure what it's supposed to show? Does it indicate that one is preferred or dominant over the other? I can't say that I spotted that.

I don't care if it's a drawing - to me, it was mentally disturbing. Especially when I saw that first thing in the morning!

I must admit, it scared me too - real or not. Anyway, does anyone know which is popular, the masculine or the feminine adjective?

So are you advocating the banning of joke pacifiers, or are you going to be walking down the street one day, see a baby using one, and freak out at his parents?

I don't know which is more popular i just can tell you as a Spanish speaking person that when i think in the masculine version clásico it just comes to my mind (fútbol clásico, partido clásico, classic game of soccer, classic soccer) like a tournament of classic soccer teams yes all that comes to my mind LOL and when i think in the femenine version clásica it comes (música clásica, classic music)

that is one side of the coin, the other is that probably 90% of people wont type in
with accents, in our case with the exception of "ç" that has its own key, every other accent riquere shift+key, alt+key or whatever, people are lazy, unless keyboards develop according with complete regional accents latin idns will not reach their full value, and that is not easy seeing that some latin languages have so many accents.

I disagree. OK, I agree if you only consider French, Spanish, and Italian to be "latin IDNs". Otherwise, German, Finnish, Swedish, Norwegian, Danish, etc - all of these languages actually have separate keys for their non-ascii characters.

As well, German IDNs have proven to be the most valuable to date according to public sales figures.

yes, i was mainly refering to the latin countries, specifically to portuguese keyboards, good to hear that the northern countries have that solved.

Oh, of course, "pais" e "país" are the same thing, right?

no, they dont have the same meaning, and even in a rare case like that (complitely different meaning from one to another) unless you are a portuguese
teacher nobody knows if it is "país" or "paìs" and really almost no one cares either.

One is "parents" and the other is "country" and no one cares?
Rare case? How about mão and mao?

Gramatical correction maters:

um tipo tava pra morrer e foi escrever seu testamento, mas como não tinha mto tempo, e não pontuou correctamente nada....quando encontraram o corpo, o papel dizia o seguinte:

meu dinheiro eu dou a minha irmã não ao meu irmão jamais será paga a conta do padeiro nada dou aos pobres

a irmã leu e disse q havia deixado todo o dinheiro pra el.
Ela leu: meu dinheiro eu dou a minha irmã. não ao meu irmão. jamais será paga a conta do padeiro. nada dou aos pobres.

o irmão disse que o dinheiro era dele. ele leu:
meu dinheiro eu dou a minha irmã? não. ao meu irmão. jamais será paga a conta do padeiro. nada dou aos pobres.

o padeiro entao, sabendo da história disse que o dinheiro era dele.
meu dinheiro eu dou a minha irmã? não. ao meu irmão? jamais. será paga a conta do padeiro. nada dou aos pobres.

por fim (o mais previsível de todos), foi o pobre dizer q o dinheiro era dele..
meu dinheiro eu dou a minha irmã? não. ao meu irmão? jamais. será paga a conta do padeiro? nada. dou aos pobres!

jose, im sure you use some kind off instant message service, either hotmail or
some other, please tell me how many people will type in accents in their words?
i use it to and i know that the answer is not many, in fact, most people dont use
most of them, younger people even less, yes they will use "ã" and they will use
"ç" but probably they will never use "á" or "à" or "ô" or "ó", etc, unless they are taking a poortuguese test or something, and i doubt that they will type it in on the browsers bar.
im not saying these domains are trash, i guess they are brandables and if some big company wants one they could go for the "proper" version, i just think they
will not reach full value with the current typing habits and keyboard display.

Languages evolve, spelling evolves, and scripts evolve. If a thing falls out of common use for long enough, it will eventually be phased out.

Yes, I agree.

But I bet a credit card company investors would prefer to see their money invested on cartãodecrédito.com instead of cartaodecredito.com.

Isn't the unacented version a typo?

And Google already knows that and sends the corrected versions on your unacented searches. Only the type-ins are lost.

Maybe and sometimes changes can be implemented by political will, example reinstatement of Hebrew, Simplified Chinese, or Latinisation of Czech and Polish.

However, the World is not just going to turn around and start doing things the American way just because the Yanks are in financial difficulties and have started to take some notice of what is going on in the rest of the World.

What's that got to do with the price of eggs in China?

These people are omitting accents out of pure laziness and/or because they see everybody else behaving the same way. It's their own culture. Some languages may be understandable without their accents, but none of them are understandable without their umlauts.

yeah , different country have different language to express, may be the key word in your country is very popular but in other country may not.
So I think it is hard to say it is useless or not.

The most google friendly version is cartão-de-crédito :D

As far as accents goes for Spanish and Portugese, If you take a look at "content" the accents are there on most web pages.

Accents were not omitted out of laziness...they just didn't work in the browser for couple of decades....that is changing :eek:
