Re: data sheet or datasheet, white paper or whitepaper?

["Kerstin Peterson" <kerstin -dot- peterson -at- gmail -dot- com>]

Hello, group:
Whenever I have a question about word or term usage I google each of the
options. I assume that the term(s) with the most hits is/are the one(s) that
is/are most frequently used and therefore will be more familiar to my
audience.
Here are the results for the options we're discussing:

"white paper"
32,800,000
"whitepaper"
11,400,000
"data sheet"
22,600,000
"datasheet"
50,900,000

So, white paper (two words) and datasheet (one word) are the most commonly
used iterations.
