Completing one's email address as name@host (whilst omitting the critical .wtf in the address)

Inability to locate a website when provided with the link to the exact fucking page the link points to. How? Rather than clicking the link, a handful of folks like to paste them into the Yahoo! search bar. Was the link actually clickable? Why, yes, as confirmed when I give up and say look, just go back to the email (where is that?) go back to the email (which one?) the one I sent you, go back to the email, see the link? Click it. (with the mouse?) No, with your perineum, of course with your fucking mouse!

Me: Did you click the link I sent you in email?
Them: No. I wrote it down then typed it into my computer.
Me: Where in your computer?
Them: At the top of the screen.
Me: No, exactly where? In the address bar of your browser?
Them: Address? Bar? Browser? What weird words you use!
Me: Tell me what you see.
Them: Yahoo!
Me: And?
Them: A blank, where I typed it. Then I clicked search like you said.
Me: You're hallucinating. I never said anything like that. My email said click the fuckin' link. See the very very very (almost) very top of your screen where it probably says something like http://www.yahoo.com? Is that where you put it?
Them: No.
Me: That's where it goes.
Them: Then click search?
Me: No, then die. In a fire.
Me: *listens to keyboard clickety-clack*
Them: It doesn't work.
Me: Did you type it where the yahoo.com address was?
Them: Yes, right after it.
Me: No, die now. Try doing it the right way.
Them: *clickety-clack*
Me: Any better?
Them: No. It says page not found.
Me: Read me back what you typed.
Them: htp.\wrongspellingorg/com.
Me: You ever consider a field where you don't need to read, write, listen or be correct?

Epilogue: Was the link actually clickable? Why, yes, as confirmed when I give up and say look, just go back to the email (where is that?) go back to the email (which one?) the one I sent you, go back to the email, see the link? Click it. (with the mouse?) No, with your cervix, of course with your fucking mouse! (nothing happened) Did you click the link? Yes. With the mouse? (no, with my perineum, erm, yes) And nothing happened? (well a new thing opened up at the bottom of my screen) Did you bother to look at it? (no) Look at it! (okay) Was that it? (oh, there it is! why do you people make this so difficult?)
