When you're among friends or family, how do you say the URL of this website?

"carseat dot org"? Because technically, that's an entirely different website. So, do you say "car dash seat dot org"? Or "car hyphen seat dot org"?

I always say carseat dot org, but then I'm afraid they'll go to the wrong website.


So, what do you say?

I say nothing, because I don't like people and refuse to talk to them.




Actually, I really don't talk about this website to anyone. Occasionally I'll write it down for parents at check events. I've never said it out load, I don't think.

"the carseat forum" is what I usually call it When I'm talking online with someone, I call it "c dash s dot org" and when I'm talking in real life and want someone to come here, I call it car dash seat dot org.

If I'm just referencing it I say "car seat boards". Usually that's to DH. If I'm typing it quickly for whatever reason I usually use "c-s.o", "cso" or "c-s.org". If I were to tell someone about it who may actually want to visit I would say "car dash seat dot org"

Hmm, I've never had to say it out loud to someone who didn't already know the site. My boyfriend likes to laugh and call it my "car seat avenger site" when I'm on here.

I've said "car seat dot org with a dash inbetween car and seat". But it dosen't matter, for me anyways. I'm the only one IRL that cares about this stuff at all.

When I'm talking to DH, etc., it's "my car seat board."

If I'm talking to someone to find out if they've been here, I say, "car seat dot org with a hyphen between car and seat."

If I'm giving the address to someone who's actually writing it down, I'd say "car, hyphen, seat dot org."

I honestly don't think I've ever said the name out loud to anybody, except some of you guys. But then it's just "the board". When I type it on facebook or text messages to any of you guys, it's cs.org.

Well, I take that back. I think I've mentioned it to my mom once or twice, and then it was just, "Hey, I found this website called car seat dot org, look at what I found on it...". I didn't mention the hyphen because I was typing the URL in.

I have a feeling that I might end up mentioning the board once or twice within the next week at my tech class, that's why I'm wondering how ya'll say it. I feel silly having to mention "hyphen" or "dash", but if you don't, it's not the same site. KWIM?

I say dash. Far too many people are confused by the word hyphen. So I generally say "car dash seat dot org" and put an emphasis on dash and also take me finger and make a dash while I say it. And sometimes I just take their pen and write it for them.

I swear I'm going to get cards made up with car-seat.org's address, and cpsafety.com. I'm tired of writing those sites down for people lol.

It usually goes something like this, "if you need more help you can ask at car seat dot org. that's, uh... car dash seat dot org. if you leave out the dash it will take you someplace else..."
