Netiquette Basics For Spelling Internet Words Via Netiquette IQ




The following blog is an except from my soon to be released new book, "You’re Hired! Super Charge Your Email Skills in 60 minutes… And Land That Job!". The book will be available in early 2015. Look for announcements here.
Presently, there are varying standards for spelling Internet words and terms. While many of the words listed below may be spelled with hyphens, the easiest way to remember is to use capital letters and hyphens as little as possible. I recommend the following:

  • cybernet
  • cyberspace
  • cyberbullying
  • ebook
  • ebrary/elibrary
  • ecard
  • ecommerce
  • ejournal
  • elancer
  • elearning

  • email
  • emusic
  • epolicy
  • epology (portmanteau: email apology)
  • epublishing
  • ereader
  • eschool
  • esign

  • ewallet
  • ezine
  • homepage
  • inbox
  • Internet (the entity is capitalized, as opposed to the term internetworking)
  • intranet
  • IP (uppercase)
