    This is entirely possible with WP, you may want to investigate the options on the Permalinks page.

    Google doesn’t care how a link ends. Since you’re concerned, you should setup permalinks.

    If you’re trying to fool everyone into believing you’re using straight HTML files on your site, then yes.

    There’s more of an advantage to ‘pretty’ permalinks: not just Google can remember them!! Real people can remember how to get to a post!

    So many times I’ve found an excellent resource – once… then never again! There are other ways of remembering where things are online (blogs, bookmarks, etc) but I wasn’t home at the time and didn’t want my school’s network admin getting hold of my WP password! Go pretty URLs!!
