In the interest of nitpickiness, I did exactly as the topic title suggested, and I typed in &#104ttp://delra.com into my brower.

Guess what resulted?

http://www.delta.com/home/landing/in...?LSID=10000024

Not only did Delta register delra.com (probably some others as well), but click on the link above, and you will see the page is different from delta.com's home page.

Very interesting!

delra.com is a special website created for folks who are real ra-ra Delta supporters. It is a special treat with special fares. Really spatial people go there.

In our family, "ralra" was the word for "water", since that's how my little brother first pronounced it.

"dalra" was the way he pronounced "enhanced".

I'm really impressed at the net-savviness of Deltatechs to have reserved the misspelled website locations.

Compare it to the gov. You know where whitehouse.com goes, doncha?

Funny..but odd. Why wouldnt they just alias or auto-forward to the correct site?

Maybe it was initially registered to overcome a specific printed typo.....
