doubly so.

top-level domain ".inv", but there could be in the future. See also
RFC 5536 "NetNews Article Format".
4. "Solar System" *is* the official name used by the International
Astronomical Union (IAU), and the preceding is the recommended
spelling. However, I grant you that since the (yet unfinished?)
redesign of the IAU Web site, it is even more difficult to find it
there.[1]
There is only one Solar System because there is only one star called Sol,
Latin for English "the Sun" ("Sol" is derived from the Roman deity "Sol
Invictus", "the unconquered sun"[2]; "sun" developed from Old English
"sunne", cognate with similar words in other Germanic languages[3]),
which is the primary of that planetary system. Other planetary systems
ought NOT be called "solar systems".
Use of the name "Sol" can also be found in astronomy software, for
example Celestia. For that reason I prefer the name "Sol System" that is
also found in good science-fiction.

¹ Note that the term "star system" for such a system of celestial objects
around a star or multiple stars, that you often find in popular-scientific
and science-fiction contexts is wrong. The term "star system" exists in
astronomy, but means a system of two or more stars, not planets or smaller
bodies, orbiting each other. For example, the Alpha Centauri System is
correctly named so because it consists of the stars Alpha Centauri A
(Rigil Kentaurus), Alpha Centauri B (Toliman), and Alpha Centauri C
(Proxima Centauri): <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proxima_Centauri>

In other words, President Trump is surrounded today by a bunch of
cowards like
JFK who let communists in OUR hemisphere.
If Putin or China threatens to use the atomic bombs on us, the cowards
give in.
dats how they got Cuba.
Trump is surrounded by cowards left and right.
He is not going to give in, but the cowards want to give in.
dat was jfk mistake.
get rid of the cowards.

It's not so bad when it's not abused.
When it is though, misrepresentation over the Internet or
generally is perceived as a sort of enhancement to justified
penalty to crime.
Basically relying on "e-mail address", as with regards to
the association of identity with an e-mail address, many
countries have laws in effect with regards to the verification
of association of identity with an e-mail address, though that's
a bit its own protocols for digital mail-box and the post and
these kinds of things, with regards to delivery and identity.
An e-mail address ending ".invalid", which is not a valid TLD,
is somewhere though noted as a "valid invalid" way to write
an e-mail address that doesn't exist.
It's been a long time since just appending /s/ in an e-mail
was a legal signature, "signed". I.e., in the positive sense,
an e-mail address and an associated identity speaks for itself.
--------------------------------------
Someone said, long ago, that writing .inv at the end of an email would
save people from thinking that the email was a valid one.
