    In Hungary "tel" means winter so a few local ski holiday organizers will likely want to get the domain.

    Same thing happens to /. when you tell someone to have a look...

    Person 1: 'Go to slashdot dot org'
    Person 2: 'Is that one dot or two?'
    P1: 'Just one dot'
    P2: 'Ok then. Wait a sec, slash dot org doesn't work...'
    P1: 'No, it is slashdot dot org, not slash dot org'
    P2: 'I'll try again. Nope slash dot dot org doesn't work either.'
    P1: Head explodes
