I was going through some customer feedback and encountered at interesting argument the gist of which is as follows:
It should be Web†but not webâ€. This is because Web†is a representation of a formal†entity which is World Wide Webâ€. Support for this is derived from The New York Times as well as The New Yorker who write it as Web site†and not websiteâ€.
Another reader rebutted this by writing that she was based in the United Kingdom and tended to use The Guardian's recommended style which wrote web†and websiteâ€. This she supported with the argument that a number of American publications prefer website†although this is not across the board.
In your interactions online, which version do you use or prefer?
Is it Webâ€, Websiteâ€, Web siteâ€, websiteâ€, or web siteâ€?
