Is That All One Word?

When you tell someone a domain name over the phone, it seems instinct kicks in and you will inevitably be asked if that is all one word.
It’s a funny question because domain names cannot have any spaces, so they must all be all one word.
To help stop the spread of this question, I encourage you when asked to say “All domain names are all one word.“

[...] Jurd: A word from Nicky – Is that all one word? Welcome back to blogging Nicky. I missed you…or should I say, [...]
That is just the start of it Nicky; I work for a domain name registrar (that shall remain nameless) and if that was the silliest question that I received over the course of a day I’d be a lot less stressed than I am at the end of it
Another common one that I get is can I have a domain with the first letter of each word capitalised?
There is a large trend in that there are people registering domains with very little IT knowledge or background. There are clients which we have that require close to 20 minutes of carefully, carefully step by step assistance to set up a single email account.
