Google mail question

[brixtonboy]

Hi been a while. Just noticed that my email address is strange, l think! For example if I send a link from you tube to myself the @gmail.com functions. However if l pass it on verbally the other person cannot use it and must use @googlemail.com. I replied to their email and wrote my @gmail.com and that functions.
I remember years back we were given a choice of which to have and l selected gmail.com. For information my iCloud password is also with a
googlemail.com ending, lf that helps any.
Thanks in advance BB
