It is now standard practice when giving Internet addresses to omit the protocol "http://..." and simply write www.websitename.com.
-
e-mail, e-commerce (hyphenated, lower case)
-
online (not hyphenated, lower
case) but: upper case if part of a proper name
(America Online, T-Online, etc.)
-
website (one word, lower case),
and web by itself now lower case. Other words that are
sometimes compounded with web should stay separated
and lower case, e.g. web searcher.
-
internet (now lower case)
-
www: worldwide web
-
home page (two words, not one): do not use this as a
synonym for a website. It means the page to which a
user of the web always returns, either because it is
the entry point for a website or because it is set to
load when a browser opens.
-
http: hypertext transfer protocol
-
multimedia (not hyphenated)
-
program when describing
computer software, but programme for a
television programme and in all other senses.
