I have always hated the tendency toward creating retarded adverbs, ever since people took to registering domains in the Libya country code TLD.

Now, we'r stuck with all these trendy sounding SaaS projects that have adopted some of the most irritating names imaginable.

I wish people would stop dreaming up stupid website domains like:

dork.ly

fart.ly

retard.ly (note that in most cases, it would take a small leap of imagination to choose "retarded" over "retard" in case like this, but that opportunity is often squandered)

adverb.ly

grammar.ly

and-so-on.ly

...even worse is when someone truly brainless comes along, and adheres to the trend, but registers under a .com TLD, and still botches the grammar of the word. as in:

botchedly.com

I have always hated these sorts of names.
