For all you grammar police out there, the AP Stylebook will now dictate that "Internet" must be rendered in all articles as "internet" with a lowercase "i" and "Web" with a lowercase "w", the same as a spider's web. No special emphasis is to be granted to those words. ALAS! We Web Denizens have been demoted to just average citizens of the world. No longer may we be permitted to capitalize our virtual residence as though it had more import than anywhere else in the world. This change of import occurs on June 1, 2016 when the new stylebook comes out. Perhaps, we should protest by referring to "AP", as "ap" from now on?— PING! Pinging dayglored and Shadow Ace for the passing of an era!
The "Internet" is dead
Long live the "internet!"

The folks responsible for the entries in the Associated Press Stylebook... This was already done, in 1984, "The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension", by a Lectoid Commander... at/near the end...
So what? Big deal
(I never cap'ed internet and forced programs to allow lowercase...)

Completely stupid move by technologically illiterate people. Any collection of computers is an internet. The Internet is a specific, singular one. The noun meets all the requirements of a proper noun, it is grammatically incorrect to lowercase the I. Not surprising that the increasingly uneducated muppets at AP do not know this.

I thought proper nouns were supposed to be capitalized.
