i just want to say www.example.com is international and www.example.us is for usa. Im fed up with sites using .com as the american version and people in the usa thinking they own .com

.com means commercial and its international.
.us = commercial USA
.co.uk = commercial UK
.com.au =commercial AUS

every site that is international gives .com to the USA

google.com is the us version (google.us redirects)
habbo.com
e.t.c

But im sure it makes u mad when people post random things :)

True, kinda gets annoying i must admit, although .com tends to be used for the internonal version on quite a number of sites, while other exstentions are used for localised versions, since many sites are american, its the americans who end up keeping the .com address much of the time.

For instnace how many sites use .org to sell stuff, dispite the fact its reserved specificaly for Non-profit organisations
