    If I have a house in Orange County, California, and another house in Orange County, Florida, do I technically only have one house since they’re both in Orange County?

        I mean, it communicates the same point. The two are unrelated even though they have the same county name, just like websites share the same TLD and are completely unrelated to each other.

      I’m sorry about your confusion. Please start another thread, though, so people can focus on answering OP.

        Surely you could see that my response was a rhetorical question in an answer to reflect upon the absurdity of the OPs question.

          No. I see you making fun of someone for asking a question. They are trying to apply some of their knowledge to something new. What they have learned from some other good answers is useful going forward.

          Sadly, it seems you need to learn more to be able to understand where this person is coming from.
