| 452038 | 2006-05-04 11:47:00 | I think e-mail should be the right conventional way to write because it is supposed to be short for electronic-mail. Why should electronic be capitalised? Cheers :) |

| 452039 | 2006-05-04 11:59:00 | Well in the same way that one writes P.O. Box No. for Post Office Box Number not p.o. box no. That is electronic Mail, eMail, as in iPod, iMac, and more that I can't think of right now. Agreed methods of doing things add cohesiveness and a feeling of solidness to the society, something which is sadly lacking these days. I agree it is just convention though. | zqwerty (97) | ||
| 452040 | 2006-05-04 13:06:00 | At work the official :rolleyes: guidelines allow for either e-mail or email- neither is preferred, although like JamesKan I prefer e-mail, since 'electronic' is shortened. I would only capitalise it when beginning a sentence with it- poor grammar I imagine, but what the hey :) | Sick Puppy (6959) | ||
