Journal: News & Comment

And so it is decided

Permalinks to this entry: individual page or in monthly context. For more material from my journal, visit my home page or the archive.

Why have I not posted to this journal in two days? Because I have spent the time coming to a momentous decision. One that required considerable thought, canvassing the opinions of others, and a fundamental alteration in my world view.

Yes, from now on I shall spell website, not Web site.

That is the way the word has been heading since it was invented, lo, more than a decade ago, and now website is sufficiently widespread that I must submit to general usage and eschew the logic that led me to prefer Web site for all these many years.

I cannot, however, bring myself to use email instead of e-mail quite yet, but the time will come, I am sure.

Whew. Glad I got that off my chest.
