    Pool.com please change your fonts

    The font Pool.com is using for marketplace listings can be very misleading. There is no space between consecutive v's which make them look almost the same as a single w.

    Check out the following two current marketplace listings for v v a t.net and v v q k.com:

    Good suggestion!

    Hi all,

    This is a really good observation gang, thanks for hightlighting it. We are looking into a number of ways to solve the problem... a different font may work. We are also considering putting the number of characters in the first level domain name as a suffix... something like: vvat.com (4) where the "4" shows that "vvat" is really 4 letters and not 3 compared to wat.com (3).

    Thoughts all?

    That could confuse people between zero and o. And what if it was somethingvvsomething.something? Same problem. Changing the tracking/kerning would probably be best.
