Also, this one’s not as official, but you’re welcome to use the comments to fill in the hilarious current ironic internet slang term that will take on another layer of irony when the next generation finds out our dorky selves used it back in the day!

If I was talking about the WWW project (or TheProject.html, as the URL used to be), I would say "the World-Wide Web". Using that name to refer to the ubiquitous database that grew from that project is like referring to water as, I don't know, oxygen dihydride (this may not be accurate, since I'm not a chemist).

As for the Internet/internet thing, I write it with a capital because a) it's a proper noun and b) it's not any of the other internets out there. I am inconsistent about Web/web, however.

Dihydrogen monoxide, as the joke commonly goes.
