escaping auto-generated link detection

Is there a simper seem to escape a text I'd like to prevent from being detected as URL, other than quoting them as a code (which I don't like) ?

If I want to write We.Us, the pad automatically thinks it's a URL, when all I want is to write it as it is "We.Us" (without the quotes).

What's an easy to remember way to escape the dot sign?
