I was getting the following error message in my e-mail program: “Recipient address rejected: need fully-qualified address.”
It was easily fixed — I needed to remove an “x” I’d accidentally typed on the cc line — but it should tell you something about me that my first thought was, “You don’t hyphenate compound modifiers if one of them’s an adverb.”
MY first-thought would have been, “Ok think! A full-qualified domain differs from a regular-domain how?”
2nd-thought,
“Guess someone’s not getting that e-mail”
