https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8FF5j7wqYa0 Had to come in here and share this Any new/intermediate domainers should 100% watch this to see the domain/brand brainstorming process through finalizing the idea, then you can actually see the negotiation and broker outreach process from a real-life broker/client end-user perspective. I am actually shocked he was so hesitant at 25k for this name and even more shocked he got it for 20k. I am certain this name goes for around 20k if not more at auction. This may be the single best domaining video I've ever seen.

Name-type domainers! When I go through my morning routine of skimming my list, I always come to think of some simple fact that is not really obvious unless you stop to consider it. (Language is packed to the brim with these things we do all the time without thinking about it.) When we learn to read, it's laborious at first. As we keep reading however, our reading speed increases. Some can read very fast. How? Turns out that the brain learns to anticipate and skip the parts that would impede comprehension. We don't read letter for letter, we use something called "word-pictures". At the word level, this means that we visually gauge the specific word, wordpart (or set of words), and spelling really only becomes an issue if there is ambiguity in terms of meaning. That is *if* it is likely that the mis-spelling can be interpreted in some other way, that would change the overall interpretation. We may pause for an instant, perhaps re-read the sentence, but if the meaning is sufficiently clear then we carry on. (This is also why logos and fonts are important. They underline some aspect and can this way build a bridge to understanding the whole concept.) In all other cases, getting hung up on "correct spelling" is more of a way to feel superior. To know better. Basically table-manners. Now, in fact, brand naming intentionally utilizes that mental pause effect instead. Breaks those particular rules. (When you don't have a full sentence to consider, the role of spelling changes since there is only one or two words to focus on; it becomes more influential) Sometimes brand-naming even uses ambiguity in terms of meaning to grab attention. The pause effect is valuable. It can create what's called "salience" - that something jumps out at you. (Or rather - what you see and what you ignore since it just aligns with what you would expect.) There are other effects of spelling that relate to pronunciation, and I think those are also misinterpreted. Basically, in language, there are words and there are rules. Words in this sense is what we memorize. Rules are how we string and inflect things together. Phonology is the "sound rules" of the language. It is not based on letters. Letters are for writing.

Hi, today one of my premium domains appeared on GoDaddy listed at only 10% of the price listed on Atom. I didn’t have a GoDaddy/Afternic account before, today, I just opened one after noticing this. I asked Atom and they confirmed it wasn’t them. I also called GoDaddy customer support and I’m waiting for their Arizona offices to open, since neither Atom nor I can remove the listing on GD. The strangest part is that it shows up as a Verified Domain, even though I never listed or verified any domain on GoDaddy. Has this happened to anyone else? If so, how did you resolve it?
