In the first three of those examples, only one of the two spellings is
correct. In the latter example, only one of the spellings would be correct,
given this is a UK domain. It's not *that* hard to use a dictionary.

Anyway, kabal.org.uk isn't registered, so mail would bounce with "no such
domain", which is a good heads-up that the sender got something wrong.

goose fat. No wonder they set fire to it.	-  Humphrey Lyttelton, ISIHAC
