The question mark often means it's "an example of" (rather than a synonym), but you know what Griff is like with his misdirections - it could just be nothing.

Ditto... but then Google definition says:

-ed/-ing/-s
Definition of sile (Entry 2 of 6)
dialectal, chiefly British
: to move especially downward with a flowing or gliding motion. eg: the rain siled down

Collins has it better: Sile definition and meaning | Collins English Dictionary[^]
Quote: sile
in British English
(saɪl )
VERB
(intransitive) Northern England dialect
to pour with rain
Word origin
probably from Old Norse; compare Swedish and Norwegian dialect sila to pass through a strainer

SILE - I am so using this "word" the next time I play scrabble. herself (journalist) will certainly challenge it and I might win a point.

Hello all,
What are the things that one might want to consider when requesting your own domain ?
The general idea is to have my own mail address, so I can replace my provider. While we are at it, maybe I will have email addresses for the whole family...
What are the pits and palls ?
How much money does it cost ?
Can I have my domain for good ? Or do I have to pay for it on a yearly basis ?
Thanks

Would you be master of it?
|
|
|
|

Thanks,
I am not sure what does it mean.
What does a "master" do ?
|
|
|
|

It's what a master doesn't do that counts.

He was making a "joke"  There is a catchphrase "master of your domain" that he was referring to. Please don't google what it means though

When I was at the University, a few years ago (well OK quite a few but never mind) I did a course in technical writing. One of the main points of one lesson was being very careful when using common expressions as you would throw a curve ball at someone who knew not what a curve ball was. I feel this was such a moment.
For those still in the 1950s and refusing to watch any US based media a curve-ball is a baseball term for a ball thrown with spin which curves in the air and so confuses the person trying to hit it. Its became US slang for something which confuses, especially something new that looks straightforward but causes complete failure. In recent years its become much more commonly used so its not just those funny Americans who know it, but still the point is good.
Master of Your Domain is, obviously, not so well known - which killed the Joke  Not all lost though I laughed at it

Might be fun to have a few of those idioms from other languages. Either in that tongue or translated.
There is a Korean phrase that translates to: "its as easy as laying down eating cake".
I have no idea how it is written. And probably would not enunciate it correctly aurally.

LOL. The sure way to insure that someone googles something is to tell them not to. I'm a perfect example.

Whatever the domain you want is, it's already gone. Once you find a domain your biggest risk is that someone else will buy the same domain with a different suffix and impersonate you, so if yours is zmau.com (don't bother checking, it's already gone) then someone might buy zmau.net or zmau.org etc, so when buying the domain you might want to consider buying as many suffix options as you think reasonable.
Beyond that it's pretty cheap and straight-forward, $10 to $20 a year on average. You can't buy it outright, you need to renew it every year, or every three if available.

I agree. Just stay off the internet.

Everyone is born right handed. Only the strongest overcome it.
