I blame the MySpace generation for these travesties to our grammatical destruction, but the fact remains... Google has alt spelling results just as it has standard spellings, and someone who actually uses the alt versions, would identify with a site that speaks their language, which might lead one to believe that they are an easier sale on such a domain.

Just some thoughts on the topic.

yes true, and the shear fact that it would be easy to remember the word too so that would be another + for using them. i just feel this fad was 2 years ago and now aren't considered "cool" anymore even to the kids.
