What Do You Call Groups.io?

 

This is a bit of dumb question but what do you all call this service? Pronouncing "Groups dot I O" doesn't exactly flow off the tongue. I thought someone on here may have a better way to refer to it to newcombers. (I bought a domain that I forwarded to our group's Groups.io - DupontForum.com.)?

We've skipped saying "dot" - just "groups i o." "The new place" has worked, too.

There have been discussions about this in the past.? My own preference for shorthand is GIO (similar to YG for YahooGroups) that I pronounce jeeoh.? Some use Gio, some use Groups I O without the dot.

I call it groups dot IO. It flows just fine off of mine. In fact it is such unique name that it is easy to remember.

Rob, besides the pronunciation question here is some information to the extension .io from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (which you probably know, but just in case):

"The () .io is assigned to the . The .io domain is administered by the , a company based in the ."

On the rare occasions I need to speak the name, formally it's Groups dot Eye Oh, but less formally Groupsie-oh. When the context is clear in writing, I use g.io.

Thank you all for your considered replies. I learned a lot and also went off to?CostaRicaLiving to learn about moving there. (I'm in a neighborhood group about retiring abroad.)

I¡¯ve been referring to the name with my Group members as ¡°G¡± ¡°O¡± , or Gio. Gio flows off the tongue than ¡°groups dot io¡±. And everyone understands what I am referring to.
