I keep getting asked about "<yourbusinessname>@mydomain.com" every time. "Oh, you work here too?".

People have no idea how email works (and why should they?).

I see a lot of vans in the UK with things like:

Bobs Builder's web: bobsbuilders.co.uk email: [e-mail]

And I always think: "you went to the effort to get a domain name and put a website up, but you couldn't go the one more step and have your email point there too?" Especially since you likely hired a web company to do the website, why didn't they also do the email? At least in these cases a company's web-savvyness (or grammar) don't necessarily affect their building skill.

How is it different than if you give your address as

1234 York Street or 1234 Miller Street

and they will not assume you live in York or work for the brewery making Miller Lite...

It's been 40 years, people could have wisened up how email addresses work.

[stavros]

Because they can't differentiate between "[e-mail]" and "[e-mail]".

I know, I didn't ask how to mix it up but why it didn't become basic knowledge by now? :P

[stavros]

Because nobody knows why "[e-mail]" and "[e-mail]" are actually different businesses, but "[e-mail]" and "[e-mail]" aren't. Who knows if your domain is a mail provider or not, or what a domain is, or how mail servers work, etc etc.
