This sign, saying “For Rent” in Swedish, was located in an industrial park outside of Karlstad, Sweden. As far as I know, the place is still for rent…

Umm is it because that is not a valid email address? I’m really not sure what’s wrong w/ it!

It’s so wrogn – on so many levels.
The @ symbol is illegal in domain name records, so http://www.info@kronlund can’t be a url for the real estate agent’s website – not even if “kronlund” were a toplevel domain which it isn’t. Even if it were meant as an email address, with “www.info” as the intended recipient, it’s still missing the toplevel domain suffix. And excuse me but, “LOKALER UTHYRES” “WWW.INFO@KRONLUND”? Stop shouting already. (Just take his caps lock key away) Besides which, that’s not even English.

right, I see.
someone who knows nothing of web or email naming protocols and domain names.
I initially thought the complaint being made was that it wasn’t in English.

Actually there’s really nothing “wrong” with this sign. The dot is legal in email syntax, and in Sweden, the top-level domain is .se, so you could probably assume it’s .se and be safe. Websites in other parts of the world don’t work like those in the US where it could be .com, .net, .gov, .us, .info, etc. Mostly they just stick with their own national suffix, unless it’s an international brand.

Haha OMG i used to live in that city. Its a really nice town.
But yeah this is so wrong in so many ways.
I have to disagree with Lisa, the top-level domain in emails in sweden is probably .se but in email addresses its probably .com because most of the people in sweden still use Hotmail. So its even more wrong not to point out where the email is going..ooor where the html address is going to. haha, ocnfusing. Fun nonetheless.

I’ll tell you what’s wrong with the sign.
It’s written in some kind of crazy space language, that’s what’s wrong with it.
