I just noticed a web site whose domain name was a phrase, (sans nerd caps (aka CamelCase), which I parsed incorrectly at first, and yet both parsings worked: i.e., plentyoffish could be plenty of fish or plenty offish. Can you think of other examples where moving or modifying spaces makes a different phrase and meaning? —Ceci n'est pas un seing. | ||

I know of several similar alleged websites though I haven't checked out which are real. Supposedly an Italian electricity company had the domain powergenitalia and, so rumour has it, there is a site for finding medical or psychiatric help called therapistfinder and a web siter to find which agent acts for various stars called whorepresents "No man but a blockhead ever wrote except for money."

Good ones all. Do you know if this phenomenon has a name? JT, your example reminds me of a sentence composed of words all of whose first letters may be chopped off: "This bold Prussian that praises slaughter; slaughter brings rout." Can't remember if it's a Cerfistic thing or not ... —Ceci n'est pas un seing. | |||
