How hard is your email to say?

All good points. I get annoyed with my own email address sometimes. Its easy to remember and easy to say, but using a less common TLD (.world) has its drawbacks namely:

- Some apps may use an email validation regex that excludes new TLDs. 99% of users are coming from .com or .org TLDs, and so devs sometimes unnecessarily restrict valid inputs on email forms.

- People expect .com or .org and if I ever verbally give someone my email, I feel I need to specify that it's just .world and not .world.com or something like that.
