fighting for the letter i

internet or Internet? It seems as though i’m not the only one fighting for the role of the letter ‘i’ in our society.. and hell, i know that i’m not the only one who is grumpy about the different spellings/positionings of digital technology

web site vs. website
e-mail vs. E-mail vs. email

(i, of course, prefer website and email.. let them be their own unique words without having to be a descriptive of an old word.. they’ve matured to that level at least!)
