Sparteye writes that she predicts that, the need of the tech world notwithstanding, "internet" will be adopted by the majority.
No argument there. Language evolves (or is evolved) to suit the needs of the users. I suppose that English grammar has a ready-made solution to the problem that will reduce confusion. You used it in italics, the word *the. If someone says they are working on an internet, I, of course, don't think they're working on the Internet because they've used a marker for new information, or information they thought I am unaware of (the article *an).
Yep, those articles are here saving us again. What useful little words they are!
