For a good portion of my people (in my experience, at least 50%) any domain but .com might as well not exist. With them, ".com" is four characters that must ritually be applied to all domains to appease the computer gods.

well having [email protected] would require you to explain "that's a .ly not .com" and therefore not solve this particular problem

I have never had any trouble with "[email protected]". People type the characters in your email address verbatim. They do not randomly add stuff.

Ditto. .com is safe to tell people, anything else can lead to confusion.
