This year’s AP Stylebook to include terms inspired by the Web (not the ‘web’)
Other new entries include Alcoholics Anonymous,
Bluetooth, Blu-ray, bondholder, Breathalyzer, flu-like, GED,
International Space Station, mic as the shortened form for microphone,
hard line, high-five, Taser, thumbs-up and Ultimate Fighting.
The announcement further clarified the change to adoption of “website,” explaining that “ ‘Web’ remains a capitalized proper noun when used as a shortened form of World Wide Web, and e-mail, with the hyphen, remains unchanged for electronic mail, along the lines of similar phrases such as e-book, e-reader and A-list.”
