That Wikipedia article mixes communes (municipalities) and cities. La Florida, 365,563 inhabitants, is not and has never been a city. Puente Alto (492,603 inhabitants) was a separate city 20 years ago, but not now. A conurbation is a fancy name that means currently a city, even if 50 years ago there were many of them.

every website i go to from now on, i need to study the url with a magnifying glass to make sure i am getting the actual site i wanted.
The new characteristic is that ccTLDs are allowed. Second level domains have been available for several years. For example http://www.xn--and-6ma2c.cl/ ñandú
We are talking about opening up potentially millions of domain names that have never been registered
There are less that two hundred, not millions, of potential ccTLDs.

There are letters in the Cyrillic alphabet that have different character codes than their look-alike letters in the Latin alphabet.
Remember we are talking about ccTLDs. There are no more than 200 countries that would like to use non ASCII ccTLD, and they can be inspected manually. Russia wasn't awarded Cyrillic
What about
bánkófámérícá is not a TLD. This was allowed several years ago.
The names of the genders are wrong. A girl and a table belong to gender A. A boy and a book belong to gender B. Gender B is also know as the unmarked gender.
- Keyboards. Even in Western nations, configurations change however slightly, so that a QWERTY in the USA is a QWERTZ in Switzerland, then another thing in Spain, etc, which tends to REALLY slow down typing speed.

- The North Americans invented the Internet, so USA websites are dot-com, while the rest of the world uses dot-com-dot-suffix.
Many countries use dot-suffix since the internet was invented. dot-com-dot-suffix has been abandoned by some other countries.
