"Using abbreviations" of URLs is pointing to *wrong* addresses. A phishing attempt can perfectly use this misconception. This is not even malpractice.

I am not saying the user in question is malicious. I am sorry to repeat myself, but URLs don't admit abbreviations

Oh, so you admit to purposely playing dense by asking if it was a typo, to obliquely make a pedantic argument about phishing?

I hate this fucking website sometimes.
