But the AP has ruled that website is correct, so don't lose any sleep over this one. Jess, it’s a spelling issue. But the AP has ruled that website is correct, so don’t lose any sleep over this one.

If we concede that the use of "website" is an error, would you call it an error of spelling, or of usage, or of formatting? I have a question.

I’m not even certain the cause is just. While email (or e-mail) means electronic mail, it is not a compound word. It is a contraction. One could make a case for e’mail, I suppose. (Nobody does, of course.) Perhaps the “e-” construction faded because it was not, strictly speaking, standard. William Safire once argued in favor of hyphenated e-mail, but he too predicted that hyphen’s demise. That was at least a decade ago. I agreed with Safire at the time, but came quickly to realize that the world had settled on the shorter word form, and that the world was correct in doing so. And I don’t miss that hyphen, any more than I miss those of to-morrow or to-day. When it comes to email, the hounds of spring are on winter’s traces, hyphen-wise.

It's something I have been pondering for a while now. It is easy to rely on software to pick up grammar and spelling mistakes but they don't always and 'Web site' is one of these examples.

Internet should be capitalized, too. E-mail should be hyphenated. Unfortunately, you'll see misused and misspelled words all over, not just the Internet. Jenny,

With the amount of competition on the web you want to get noticed and sometimes you have to jeopardise you're knowledge of grammar to appear for searches so you can be found. One question you may be able to answer, the word web site, is it web site or website? It is difficult online to know when to use the proper grammar and when to avoid it.
