This summer, many traditional media outlets will abandon a last vestige of old technology journalism: the capitalized “Internet.” The Associated Press has announced that its highly influential style guide will be updated this year to require “internet” be kept lowercase. The “web” will also be lowercase “in all instances.” Yes, that means the grammatical tyranny of the internet as a proper noun is nearly dead. The changes will go into effect on June 1st, when the AP publishes the 2016 edition of its Stylebook.
