Hi All,
>I have heard we are using email, or e-mail, or E-mail or Email.
>Now, which is it?
Well, yes.
And to forestall arguements, is it the US Mail, the mail, snail mail,
parcel post, regular mail, or tomAto?
It depends on whose discussing what. If there is an accepted convention,
I'm not entirely sure it would be CORRECT anyway. Try an unabridged
dictionary.
This is another facet of the changing liguistics of the computer industry.
Things change faster than vaporware announcements.
