Yep, I regretted the Google suggestion soon afterwards, because 
:D is more common than D in other contexts.

But I do think :D is a better brand, more recognizable, and D 
sure needs a little help in that area. So if the search results 
do not change... that at least leaves the option open.

Anyway, the post was for your entertainment. But from what we 
entertain the future springs. So surely D future is :D ...
