Hi Edwin!
>I notice more and more newspapers talk about websites (one word) and email
>(no hyphen). How do most tech writers spell these words?
Instinctively, I'd use "website" (presumably according to the German
"Webseite") and "e-mail". IMHO, the hyphen is necessary to avod confusion
with "email" as in bath tubs or cooking pots.
