>> you no doubt continue to shill for Al-Gore and claim he invented the internet it won’t fool us <<

Two big problems with your otherwise excellent post:

(1) The man's name should be rendered as algore -- not the "Al-Gore" of your post.

(I have that information from the authority of the late Bella Abzug, as relayed by El Rushbo some years ago.)

(2) The best practice, according to the University of Chicago Manual of Style, is to begin the word "Internet" with a capitalized letter "I" -- not the lower case "i" that you've used.

(But don't ask me why the U of C editors made that decision. Dunno.)

Hope this helps!

Thank you for the information regarding the name of algore. That was news to me. What may be news to you is that the world has moved to decapitalize the internet. AP Stylebook was the latest to throw their weight behind the already significant movement and did it in 2016.
