Internet Country Abbreviations

You can usually tell what country someone is in by looking at their email address.

For instance, micky.mouse@ukonline.co.uk is in the United Kingdom. The trick is to look at the last two letter of the email address. They will usually be a fairly obvious abbreviation of the country name

In addition to explicit country codes, it is also helpful to know that ".com", ".net", ".edu", and ".org" are U.S. domains 99% of the time.
