Make sure to add http:// at the beginning and / at the end! Which the kids
probably refer to (incorrectly) as a backslash.
Actually, Firefox perpetuates the idea that domain.tld is equivalent to
www.domain.tld by adding the www for you if it doesn't work without it.
There is actually no technical reason why a website hostname has to begin
with www, it could be www2 or fubar. In the case of fubar.domain.tld,
hosting companies would refer to that as a subdomain, which I dislike.

Hey...
My kids make fun of me because I still type "www" in front of any
website that I go to... anyone else remember the day when a website
would not load without the www in front? :)
