Using "and" and "the" in the domain name

I can't find the thread here but there was some discussion I think about how "and" and "the" in the domain name are ignored by google as far as SEO goes. Is this correct?

Thanks,
Brad

I believe these are stop words, and the SE's don't take notice of them. I may be mistaken on that one.

  There is a huge list of "stop words", such as those you mentioned and including "for", "but", "a ", "all", etc, which are ignored by Google when it looks at your domain name.
  
  You can probably find such a list by googling "stop words".
