Scattered showers and thunderstorms will remain possible this afternoon and early this evening across the region. Another round of convection is forecast to develop northwest of Arkansas tonight. While a few strong storms are possible through this evening, the better chances for any organized severe weather will be later tonight.
AP Stylebook surrenders the battle over âWeb siteâ vs. âwebsiteâ. I was very pleased to read today in this post on Poynter Online that the Associated Press Stylebook (the style manual used by most newspapers and journalists) is finally changing from Web site to website. This change now appears in the AP Stylebook Online and will be in the printed 2010 AP Stylebook. website. One word, lowercase.
While the victory is not yet complete, the single word, un-capitalized, seems to be gaining wider acceptance. It is a natural progression. A website is such a common everyday thing that it would seem odd that the only term describing it is hyphenated or two words, one capitalized. Originally, of course, there was the World Wide Web. Along with the Internet, usage required the term to be capitalized because there is only one.
