Using The Letter 'Z' Instead Of 'S' In Domains?

I was wondering what you folks thought about this practice, for example, lets say the domain hornystuds.com was taken and currently has an active site on it, would you consider registering the domain hornystudz.com and using that instead?

Im seeing a lot more site owners doing this lately, along with a lot more using the word 'boi' in their domain/site names also.

Do you think it adds anything of value to a site by utilizing 'Z' instead of 'S' to pluralize domains/sites titles or do you think it actually detracts from a website?

Your thoughts?

Regards,

i would get both, but it is confusing and you risk sending peopel to the wrong site. unles you own all the variations.

I have often gone to the wrong site due to the various spellings, the average surfer wil oftern spell it the normal way

How much traffic do you think you are losing to http://www.miamiboys.com?

Lee, yes we went and streamed the parade live to collegeboyslive.com , it wasn't a bad parade, but had big gaps in it, where people kinda got separated. I will post a link to the video when i get it up later today

For free sites, I don't see -s and -z being two different sites as an issue unless one the the sites has enormous traffic. For a pay site, buying both domains is a good idea (depending on the price, of course).
