It is so very hard to be an
on-your-own-take-care-of-yourself-because-there-is-no-one-else-to-do-it-for-you grown-up.
I was walking around the mall today , and glanced at the back of a CD case which contained the text http://www.sony.com.
Seeing text of the form "www.example.com" is readily recognized as supposing to be a web URL although technically it's only the hostname portion of a URL. What it's missing are the scheme and path portions; most web browsers will automatically assume reasonable defaults for these, such as the "http://" that appeared on the Columbia produced CD, and a path of "/".
So why bother using space for the scheme, and not adding the one extra character to make it a complete URL--and also balancing the string and improve the aesthetics at the same time?
