Domainlore Wording - Is it just me or what???

[acceleratoraccelerator is verified member.]

Does anybody think the following wording at domainlore could be better?

Domain name abcdef.co.uk is on the auction!

I would prefer:

Domain name abcdef.co.uk is being auctioned!

Has anyone else thought this or should I just rein in the pedantry?

Thanks

Wouldn't it be easier to email Denys with the suggestion ?

I think the Idea is to try and distinguish between items that are "hidden gems" and items that are then put on the actual auction.

With a hidden gem listing you get "Domain auction for abcdef.co.uk" as it is not currently running on the live auction page.

Once a domain has a bid it is then "on the auction".

Email Denys, he's a nice bloke, sure he'll consider any feedback.

Your finally admitting to it, and the wasted threads you've had trying to hide the truth. Go Pedant.

I might e-mail Denis, it was really to get an idea if anyone else felt the same way, i.e. it wasn't great English and was slightly annoying, before making a suggestion.

I think a better wording would be:

Domain name abcdef.co.uk is now live on auction!

That also suggests more immediacy, so it might even help him out. Anyone else prefer it?

Wouldn't it be frustrating if you suggested a change and he didn't do anything?

No, that's how he spells his name, with a single n.
