# Lowercase ‘i’ Internet

[The AP Stylebook announced that “internet” will be spelled with a lowercase “i” starting on June 1st](https://twitter.com/APStylebook/status/716384777406922753?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw).

While this apparently caused [some people to have weird panic attacks](http://www.techtimes.com/articles/146708/20160404/the-ap-stylebook-will-lowercase-internet-starting-june-1-and-the-web-reacts.htm), it is met with great relief and celebration here at Nearly Coherent Industries HQ, because capitalizing internet was a stupid-ass thing to begin with.
