The first three, yes, by long tradition, footext, not necessarily, as |
| 9 |
it's too ambiguous. Just like the penisland dot com domain, which is |
| 10 |
read as pen-island and sells pens, BTW (at least last time I looked, |
| 11 |
after it came up as an example in a discussion similar to this), is that |
| 12 |
foo-text or foot-ext (the way I would read it by default) or foote-XT |
| 13 |
or...? |
