lbog? Close! Welcome to One Block Off the Grid (1BOG)

lbog? If you landed on this page, you typed in www.lbog.org into your browser instead of www.1bog.org. This is TOTALLY FINE, I just have a question for you. See, lots of people call it “lbog” instead of “1bog….”

so I whipped up this page to try to get some feedback why everyone’s brain is so compelled to want it to be lbog instead of 1bog.

I don’t think it’s probably anything big we’re missing, it’s just that our 1 in 1BOG sometimes looks like an l, making it look like lbog

Just curious why the brain wants to say lbog… If you don’t mind, fill this out and let us know. When you’re done, please visit our homepage or sign up to find discounts for solar energy on your home.

OK, I get it, I get it, it’s not lbog. Now take me to the REAL1BOG Solar Group Purchasing Home Page.

Answers from this form:

“It’s because we’re used to reading and pronouncing words, and words do not usually combine letters and numbers. Consider the movie “Se7en.” People don’t read that as “seh – seven – en.” If you don’t want people to see the 1 as a letter, put some kind of separation between it and the pronounceable word, i.e., “1-BOG” or “1 BOG.” Or you could spell it all out and be “OneBog,” but that sounds like commie cranberries.”

“The article I read listed it ,,,Ibog”
