For fictional domain names use example.com (RFC 2606)

Ok, this is a little pet peeve of mine and maybe a little nick picky, but I would like to encourage the use of example.com example.net and example.org when talking about fictional domain names.

Why? Because they are outlined in RFC 2606 (section 3) as reserved domain names. It can become confusing if you use site.com somedoman.com or even yourcompany.com (all working domain names) that you are not really talking about that actual domain, if you use example.com most people will know you are not listing a real domain name.

Thank you for listening to my little rant.
