  • internet (arvutivõrkude kogumi üldnimena) v Internet (ülemaailmse arvutivõrgu nimena)
  • Emakeele Seltsi keeletoimkonna soovitus (30.06.2008): Seni antud soovitused viitavad üksnes arvutivõrgule nimega Internet. Asjatundjate selgitusel on aga paralleelselt olemas üldisem võrgustiku mõiste, mida laensõnaga samuti internetiks nimetatakse ja mis oli tuntud enne ülemaailmsele arvutivõrgule Interneti nime andmist. Praktikas ei põhjusta algustähe erinevus arusaamatusi, kuigi suure tähega märgitakse konkreetset arvutivõrku ja väiketähega üldmõistet. Seepärast peab keeletoimkond mõlemat algustähevarianti keeleliselt korrektseks.

internet
Good to know
  • The first recorded use of the word internet (all lower case) dates back to 1974. It originally referred to any computer network consisting of or connecting a number of smaller networks, such as two or more local area networks connected by a shared communications protocol. It was also used to refer more specifically to ARPAnet, a specific example of such a network operated by the U.S. Defense Department. It now refers exclusively to the global computer network which evolved out of ARPAnet. In this sense, it was, until recently, commonly written with an initial capital (Internet), as it was regarded as the name of a specific network, rather than a generic term which can apply to more than one network (e.g. an intranet). However, it is now more commonly written in all lower case (internet). It can also refer to the information available on this network.
