Propagate implies that the answer isn't readily available everywhere already. Instead of saying "up to 72hrs for DNS to propagate", it's much more accurate and just as easy to say "up to 72hrs for your DNS cache to refresh".

Am I being a bit pedantic? Sure, I'll admit that. But the reason I'm being pedantic is that this mischaracterization implies that there's nothing that can be done to prevent it. That is absolutely not true and if DNS is handled properly, you can get 99.99% or more of the world resolving with the correct records in under 1hr, with most of that being in under 15min. Excusing this as DNS propagation and not handling just looks lazy to me.

But what do I know, based on all the down votes apparently folks disagree with me so I'll gladly bow out from the conversation.
