Going From Email To E-mail
from the who-really-cares? dept
Wired News seems to be making quite a big deal of the fact they've changed their style guidelines so that email will now be spelled e-mail. My first thought is that this is a stupid thing to worry about. My second thought is that if I had to think about it, it seems a bit backwards. I'd say "email" has definitely become a word these days. Maybe they're just ahead of the game and "retro spelling" will be the next big thing. Come on, and bring on ye olde time spelling.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
