Finally! We can all stop capitalizing Internet (and Web and Net)
As many of you know, and many us thought was dumb, the journalists' style guides have always required capitalizing Internet, the Web and Net. This was particular dumb whenever you were writing about someone's Web site, where you were supposed to (properly) capitalize the first word but not the second.
Thanks to Wired News for recognizing that these words should never have been capitalized in the first place. From now on it's just the "internet"!
