| 452028 | 2006-05-04 08:15:00 | Hi there, Does anybody out there know how 'e-mail' is supposed to be written ? I see it written in all sorts of ways all the time, and I'm not sure if there is a "correct" way of writing it. |

| 452030 | 2006-05-04 08:22:00 | I use "email", but from the Oxford English Dictionary: e-mail |?i?me?l| (also email) noun messages distributed by electronic means from one computer user to one or more recipients via a network : reading e-mail has become the first task of the morning | [as adj . ] e-mail messages . • the system of sending messages by such electronic means : a contract communicated by e-mail . • ( an e-mail) a message sent by e-mail : I got three e-mails from my mother today . verb [ trans . ] send an e-mail to (someone) : you can e-mail me at my normal address . • send (a message) by e-mail : employees can e-mail the results back . DERIVATIVES e-mailer noun ORIGIN late 20th cent . : abbreviation of electronic mail . However, I notice in the Thesaurus the heading is: "e-mail, email", so I would say pick the one you like best . :) |
