Capitalisation

[edit]

I feel capitalising "web" is now quite dated. Based on a completely non-scientific search, very few recent articles mentioning it seem to capitalise it, and very few style guides seem to advise that it be capitalised. Is there any objection to changing mentions of it to be lowercase?  novov talk edits 11:41, 22 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Origin of the term 'web surfing'

[edit]

I think a correction/clarification about the part of the article where it currently says "'web surfing' (after channel surfing)" considering this story, which is also already quoted on the English Wikipedia about Jean Armour Polly: https://www.surfertoday.com/surfing/the-woman-who-coined-the-expression-surfing-the-internet The German Wikipedia also link the origin of the term to Jean Armour Polly.
