Some contradictions:
MarketHear.com: bad because it fails the "bar exam"
CardPool.com: how does this pass the "bar exam" again?
Xort.com: bad - you settled on some domain because it's short and easy to pronounce
Etsy.com: good because it's short
MarketHear.com: bad because it fails the "bar exam"
CardPool.com: how does this pass the "bar exam" again?
Xort.com: bad - you settled on some domain because it's short and easy to pronounce
Etsy.com: good because it's short
If I heard "Xort.com" without seeing it, I would try to type it as "Zort.com" and probably wouldn't be able to come up with Xort.com on my own. That's also why I hate the Web2.0 trend of dropping vowels. It incurs too much work on my side to reach the website, which is a bad thing.
This is a serious question, I'm not an native English speaker and there are many pronunciations of X in English (Like "h" as in "LaTeX", like "ks" as in "extreme", like "z" as in "Xavier", maybe there are more...)
(But yeah, it's not obvious to me whether "xort" should be pronounced "zort" or "ksort".)
