".Text" is a beautiful name, like the name of my high school girlfriend is beautiful. Her name was rather ordinary, but it was her name and will always be special to me for that reason.
But let's be honest. There are problems with the word ".Text." Who says "text" when they talk about our sweet blogging application? It's always DOT-text.
It's also incredibly uncomfortable to end a sentence with .Text. ".Text." with a period before AND after? Please don't tell William Zinsser or William Strunk Jr. I EVER wrote that sentence!
But the real reason I am proposing a name change is because its damned impossible to search on ".text" and retrieve meaningful information about, um, .Text.
Therefore, I propose to the knights and damsels of the .Text Society of Cool that we officially and from this day forth change the name of .Text to dotText.
Seriously. I think this is a good idea and while I have alternated between both spellings, I am going to try to use dotText as the standard spelling for dotText on my blog. I put this proposal in a humorous light, but its actually an important issue. Maybe its the ALA Accredited Librarian in me talking, or maybe just a dotText coder with a grammatical dream of consistency and high search retrieval rates.
Think about it.
