Internet or internet?

Well, yes and no. It’s actually been around for millennia. For example, medieval manuscript scribes developed all sorts of shorthand to make their cumbersome task more bearable, by abbreviating many common words such as with (c.), and (&), for example (e.g.), that is (i.e.), goodness gracious (wtf) and so on.

For things like assignments, applications etc. I use Internet. For casual use like on forums I don’t bother capitalizing.

Also if we’re complaining about the internet and spelling, I have seen myself use “color”, mainly because I use it too much for CSS. :scream:

The use of “sick” as in “that is soooo sick bro” is another annoyance of mine…

Same for me, but I wasn’t using it in that context.

As someone living in Germany for most of my life now, no. Just…uh…no! :smiley:

This article I think hits the nail on the head.

So, the one “Internet” we all use is a thing and a proper noun. Just like “World Wide Web”, which denotes the interlinking of information on the Internet, is also capitalized, because it is also a proper noun.

Well, I also think that the i in the word “internet” should be capitalized because Internet is a proper noun.
