As I ran a spellcheck on my draft of a case synopsis today, I was once again intrigued by the spellcheck program's insistence that "Internet" is capitalized. Am I the only one who would prefer that it be the "internet?" Although there is, unavoidably, only one internet, we don't always regard a noun used to designate a unique item as subject to capitalization. The terms "sun" and "moon" - although generic terms, in common conversation are used without elaboration to mean Sol and Luna - are not capitalized, so why "Internet?"
