    Do you mean already registered or possible to be registered?

    If its possibility of registering then it is without doubt domains simply by virtue of the fact that every single world you can think of can be registered as a domian. Add to that the ability to have:

    1word.etc
    2word.etc
    w1ord.etc

    Then the list of possible domains becomes almost endless so I guess you would win the bet.

    I would also have thought that because of the ability to have 'made up' words using just letters and numbers then there are probably more domians already registered than words in the dictionary.

    Plus the fact that each domain can be registered in a variety of suffixes, I fail to see how there can be more words in the dictionary than domians already registered.

    Take the word SEX, that is one word but I wouldhave thought that that word would be registered in every conceivable .ending there is as would most 'regular' words.

    Domains can just be anything. Even if it's not a word. I'd say there are more domains. (Just my guess :D )

    The set of all dictionary words is a subset of all domain names mathematically speaking :D
