What is this all about?

How long does it take you to spell your e-mail address in a phone conversation? Linguists say that spelling out numbers is much faster and easier to understand than letters. For example, spelling out 23676@42429.com is much easier than anthony_1976@coolest-email.com.

On spellable.org you can create an e-mail address that is easy to spell out for free. Just enter your existing e-mail into the Sign-up box and you will get your own e-mail @42429.com (the user name will be assigned automatically). All the messages that come to your address at 42429.com will be automatically forwarded to your existing mailbox.

Why 42429.com?

Well, it turned out to be really difficult to register a short numerical .com domain name. 42429 is pretty easy to remember: 42 is The Answer to Life, the Universe, and Everything and 9 is just the largest one-digit number :)
