As much as I love the concept and textual aesthetics of TaoOfDan.com, Dan@TaoOfDan.com does not translate easily to the ear.
Here’s why:
ANYONE
What’s your email address?
ME
Dan [at] Tao Of Dan [dot] [com]
ANYONE
What? T-O-W?
ME
No. Tao like in Taoism the philosophy or some people pronounce it Dao.
ANYONE
Oh D-O-W?
ME
(Sigh) No. You know like the books Tao Of Pooh or Tao Of Steve?
ANYONE
I’ve never heard them. What is it again?
ME
Dan [AT] T as in Tom, A as in apple, O as in Oscar, O as in Oscar, F as in Frank, D as in…umm…Dan, A as in apple, N as in Nancy [DOT] [COM].
ANYONE
Got it. Dan [AT] T as in Tom, A as in Alpha, O as in Oscar, O as in Oscar, F as in Frank, D as in Delta, A as in Alpha, N as in Nancy [DOT] [COM].
ME
Exactly!!
ANYONE
What does that spell? Touooof Dan?
ME
Fuck me.
ANYONE
Give it to me again.
ME
It’s cool. Just mail it to me. It will be faster than this.
