website vs. Web site

I vote for "website."

L.A. Weekly's style has been "Web site" since circa 1999, when the World Wide Web was just emerging into popular consciousness as a newfangled creation for instant messaging, online shopping, and downloading pics of cute sexy naked Asian girls. (And thankfully it still is.) But nobody in today's modern universe thinks of the World Wide Web as some godly entity that deserves all caps. I mean, it's not the Bible, fer Chrissake.

And the Lord sayeth, "website" shall be one word, lowercased.

Shit and goddamn.

I've made two attempts at writing a response, the first to disagree and the second to agree. If I hadn't been doing Weekly (assume that's in ital; I can't figure out these effing HTML tags) and freelance work for eight days straight, I'd be able to make up my mind. I'll get back to you on this.

P.S. No fair starting a fight and then high-tailing it for Vegas.

P.P.S. "E-mail" should always have a hyphen.
