Have you ever wondered about the amount of time you spend online?
Well, then, check this out.
You may be sicker than you realize.
• More than intended time spent online
• Other responsibilities neglected
• Unsuccessful attempts to cut down
• Significant relationship discord because of use
• Excessive thoughts or anxiety when not online.

No. 
(as evidenced by my virtual non-existence here in the forums lately…)
Of course, I could be in denial.

Nah, the Nile is in Egypt, you’d notice if you fell in that.

I wasn’t even lurking. 
Sorry, Internet is spelled with a big “i” – not a little “i”. You should do a better job of prood reading before you click send.

Is the ‘Internet’ really spelled with a big ‘I’? I’m going to check that out…
Yep, so far I’ve only found reliable references with a capital ‘I’. I’m just wondering if it’s incorrect to use the lower-case. If not now, it will be appropriate some day when ‘Internet’ becomes an object like the Telephone.
Re: Re: Re: Re: Is this YOU? (Are you an addict?)
Bah, and indeed, humbug!
I don’t like “Internet” with a capital I. It spoils the flow of the sentence, or something like that. I know it is “the” internet, but my shift key is a little stiff and I’d hate to wear out my little finger just because someone decided it should have a capital letter.
Or is there a better reason? I am open to flam^H^H^Hrational debate…

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Is this YOU? (Are you an addict?)
You are right! We either drop the “the”, or drop the capital “i”. You don’t put the word “the” before a proper name, and you don’t capitalize the name of something unless it is a proper name. I’ve already resisted proper grammar which dictates that the ending punctuation goes inside “a literal string”. I guess whoever invented English wasn’t a “computer programmer”! Stand up for what is logical! Pedants of the world unite!

I believe it’s only you zany Americans who do this. Us British people do it the logical way, like “this”.
But of course, when I move to my secret island, I can quite happily invent my own language which I can use to talk to… erm… myself. That’ll show 'em!
