World Wide Web is a proper noun. There's only one. It takes a cap.
The usage of "web" these days is largely like "sky". You're right;
there is only one, and everybody knows what you mean by the term.

Hmmm...I was going to write a reply worthy of an award until I began to
wonder...

What do you do with the word "website" ("web-site", etc.). This is actually
a rhetorical question. I just wanted to see how certain people here fit
that word into their arguments.


Oh, good: an opportunity to chime in that Sun prefers
"web site" as two words. And we say "email" - one word,
no hyphen.
