I disagree with @gruber here. I think the internet is more like the sky than the Earth. The Earth is a singular thing, but the sky is defined by all of the elements in it. In that sense the internet is more like the sky than the Earth and therefore does not justify a capital I.

Below is a post from the For the Love of Gabe Facebook Page. It’s one of his spelling sessions he has on Mondays and Thursdays. He uses a method in the sessions called Spelling to Communicate. I’d be interested in everyone’s thoughts.

Thursdays are Spelling Days!
It has been weeks since Gabe saw Ingrid! I couldn’t wait to hear what he had to say today! He wanted me to start so of course I asked him about how he felt about meeting his cousin Oliver!
EXCITED WARM BODY CLEARLY CUTE
WHEN WILL I SEE HIM AGAIN?
I told him we could visit next month if he wanted! SURE he replied
Gabe wanted to move on. He began
I HAVE WORRIES. IS MY CONTROL ERRATIC MOVEMENT OF MY HANDS
DONT EXPECT DULL TIMES WITH ME
I understood what Gabe was talking about right away. Last night we realized that he has a very deep wound on his finger and is developing blisters from the constant movement against his hands of the fidget belts. Gabe never puts them down except brief moments and when he is not holding them he must see them. It has been a huge help with his anxiety to have the fidget belts, but he relies on them way too much. We had to have a talk with him last night letting him know that he can’t have them anymore because of how injured his finger is. Gabe did not sleep last night. I knew this was going to be hard, but I feel this is the right thing. I know it is.
He received magnetic rings for Christmas that he seems to like holding. I gave those to him for the day and will have to think of some more things to keep his hands busy. I hate taking the belts away because they bring him so much comfort. Right now Caroline is at Urgent Care with him to get his finger checked out. We will see how that goes… #autism #spelling #fidget

Is it 'e-book', 'ebook' or 'eBook'?
Dictionaries are a little behind the times and say e-book, but then they now accept 'email' rather than e-mail.
A Google search indicates 'ebook' is the most common format.
Microsoft products flag 'ebook' as a spelling error and say it should be 'eBook'.
Personally, I prefer 'ebook' for its simplicity without a hyphen. It makes sense to use 'Ebook' at the start of a sentence - a lot more sense than 'EBook' makes Microsoft. #Grammar #Spelling

Microsoft underline in red the word 'ebook' and say the second letter should be capitalized.
