I feel you. I have a two letter domain and constantly have to explain that “Yes, that’s it.” when they want to add an extra .com on the end.

if you own a two letter .com or .net or something, and not some new gTLD, you should probably sell it for a fat stack of cash... unless you have a very compelling use for it.

I suspect they meant the .<gg|in|co> part is two letter.

I think they're saying they own a two letter domain , which if it's a .com is probably worth enough money to sell, put into a S&P 500 index fund, and retire.

If it's a two letter domain at some new esoteric recently created gTLD, quite a lot less.

Since they said they drop the .com after, the only thing I could think of is that they gave a top level domain and can just mail directly to it. For example alex@arpa
