There is only one Internet. So capitalizing Internet is appropriate. An intranet however is an entirely different animal.

Acronyms should always be capitalized, so a uniform resource locator is always URL and never Url or url. Things like .gif, .pdf and .jpg are file type extensions. But GIF, PDF and JPEG are acronyms. I can’t imagine where I would use “jpg” to refer to a type of file. But I might say “Save the file with a .jpg file extension.”

It makes sense to publish web addresses and e-mail addresses in lowercase. They are by design intended to be lower case. … Or is that lowercase? However the part after the web site name often IS case sensitive. So http://www.usstamps.org/books.html is an existing web page but http://www.usstamps.org/Books.html goes to “page not found”.

I also think it makes sense to refer to web site without the http:// prefix – especially if it begins with “www.” But if linking to a specific web page on a web site, include the full URL. Another option is to include the complex URL as a footnote or in the bibliography as appropriate.

Hope to see you back soon with more comments on our articles as they help us determine what to publish.

Thank you for your comment. I’m not against posting your comment to the blog even though it comes from your business. But, I would like it to be crystal clear to our readers on some of the text in the comment. If you would clear up what the following mean, it would be helpful.

q’ = (questions?)
IP = (intellectual property?)

Thank you,
