There is the Internet and there are internets. The lowercase word
internet(s) can be used for small, possibly isolated, networks which
are interconnected using the internet protocol. They may or may not
be connected to the world-wide Internet. A good example would be
banks who network their automated teller machines to other bank
networks. Another would be some university research networks.

The Internet with the capital I is the world-wide network of networks
of which there is only one.

That's the one I'm talking about. Somebody said something about grading
papers. Better leave it alone or we'll be downgraded for style and
ideology.

I can think of better criteria for taking people seriously. Granted, I
wouldn't be hiring them as programmers, etc. As for the caps key,
