In the 2000 western conference playoffs the Blazers had a lead in game 7 at the Lakers and completely melted down and lost it. I was wearing a dank Trail Blazers cap, and I went in the backyard, threw it on the ground, doused it with lighter fluid and set it ablaze. I feel like this right now. Hats are expensive though and I'm a turker now.

I think for some companies, they do this intentionally. It's very common with Chinese sites and some other types like betting and porn.

True, and that I kind of get (and don't really mean those websites that have reason to obscure). I see it on web pages for regular ole companies who should be repeating their names loudly so people can find them easily and not forget them.

I usually just highlight the name however they have it written and drag it to a new tab to do a quick google search. The first few results will have the name written out the way Z's want it. This is quicker for me than typing or looking all over the page for it.

I don't know that they won't eventually pay up. I've been paid by them for bonuses before....I had hoped some one out there really knew and could tell me. But since I'm not on TV playing a game, I don't supposed I'll get and answer.
It is a simple type of game, after you make that initial mistake and blow a chunk of bonus--that you may or may not get....Maybe this is another ''uncertainty'' game.......

Checking it in Google is a great way to verify a name I'm not sure about! Thanks for that tip!

Many times if you scroll to the bottom you can find the full name (or the actual name, if the website is for a product) next to the copyright symbol.

I usually hit that up first, but sometimes find it on my way down the page. Other times it is literally nowhere to be found on the page, so I'll view source and copy it from the title tag if it is in the page title.
