[thelist] Email vs. E-mail vs. email vs. e-mail

[Syed Zeeshan Haider]

Hi Jonathan,
I think, less typing. "Email" needs an extra hit for Shift key.

Ummm...

"What is the correct spelling of the word 'email'?"

Does anyone else see the obvious reason that the spelling 'email' won in
this poll?

Interesting question :)

http://list-lingo.com ran a poll -

What is the correct spelling of the word 'email'?
email 34.2%
e-mail 26.1%
E-mail 15.3%
E-Mail 14.4%
Email 9.9%

Wired.com had a huge debate -

I tend to refer to it as just 'mail' (eg "mail me that document over")
and everyone knows what I mean. But maybe that's just because I'm a
geek?
