Single word .COM's

[tino]

Hi there,

I'm currently squeezing the English dictionary through WHOIS.

I notice that about 10% of the single word .COM's is NOT registered. Ofcourse, these are not the words the world is looking for, but some of them really are quit nice or have a certain ring to them.

Do these single word .COM's have any value at all, just because the consist of one single word? I see many people advertising in the sales thread with stuff like "Single word .COM's for sale"...

I would like your (professional) opinion on this!

If the WHOIS is all done, I will consider posting the list on here, if people would like that!

Single word coms are some of the most valuable...however, if it's unregged, then I would suggest saving the reg fees...very few good domains slip through the crack and end up as available.

At the top of the .com craze, 98% of the dictionary was .COM'ed. People are now realizing that just because it is a dictionary word, it is not necessairily valuable. If they are unregistered, it is probably for a reason.

most of the remaining 1 word .com are difficult words ...

e.g. bemire.com

do anyone know what's the meaning of this word?
hey hey hey don't open your dictionary!

Tino I'd be very interested.

Nothing to do with their value, but I am a journalist, and I love the english language. Which is why I have a few odd domains like jibbed.com (my favourite slang word ever) even though it's probably worth $0

If you don't post the list here you could email me a copy > [email protected]

I would have to agree

Okay,

One machine is currently working on the list. Most probably, it won't be accurate anymore when it's done, but after I scrutinized the list I will PM them to some ppl...



Indeed, the names so far are fairly hard, and me, as a Dutch person, had to hit http://www.dictionary.com quit some times. Although some names are hard or complex, they have a nice meaning.

awesome work man! let me know when you're done, I have been tring to figuire out a way to do tihs for the last year or so.

yeah I dont care if many people know meanings, I like good sounding and words that have great meanings for vanity purposes.

Ofcourse, I'm looking for the most complete file with dictionary words. The current list I have is not too big. So most probably, I will miss some words.

I someone knows where I can get a complete list of all English words; I'm interested!

At my old local library, there was an entire bookshelf devoted to the many many volumes of their English dictionary.

I expect your script would take SOME TIME to go through the ENTIRE English language.

I'd be interested in seeing the list once it is complete.

Some time ago I made something similar using Wordox dictionary.
The main advantage of this one is that you can find the words according to their length, so you can save some coding.
So, I registered some names like:

OWSE.com
caffs.com
chathy.com
dogey.com
reDye.com
reOil.com
reSaw.com
dhals.com
faquir.com
fatted.com
jibing.com
maills.com
wakers.com

etc.

This is not the exact source I used (can't find it), but I believe the dictionary is the same:

Looks like a great list.

I'll see if I can match it with my list. My list only holds about 110,000 words...

tino : is your list include the dictionary word translation ?

I don't really understand the question I'm afraid... Could you rephrase it?

I mean do you have your dictionary list with meaning.

eg :

dic·tion·ar·y ( P ) Pronunciation Key (dksh-nr)
n. pl. dic·tion·ar·ies
A reference book containing an alphabetical list of words, with information given for each word, usually including meaning, pronunciation, and etymology.
A book listing the words of a language with translations into another language.
A book listing words or other linguistic items in a particular category or subject with specialized information about them: a medical dictionary.
Computer Science.
A list of words stored in machine-readable form for reference, as by spelling-checking software.
An electronic spelling checker.



I want it for reference or maybe set up a site like dictionary.com
