you might consider tagging this claim,

@ Protagoras
Thanks. I didn't notice the tags, because I was in a rush.
Yes, just don't let Vynce catch you leaving tags, you might get arrested ;)

Mostly, but I'm not the police. I'll leave chat rooms alone.
I do agree, though I'm positive that my grammar is poor.
Yet, so many people write in "txt tlk".
Way more than 13%.
I hate it when people mispel things.
Don't you maybe mean "I support THE USE OF good grammar and spelling on the internet?"
I'm curious what flaw D'Archangel finds in this claim.
"The Internet" is a proper noun.

PERIOD, PLEASE.
... "j/k."
D'A: Why can't "the internet" be a common noun also?
bcat: "Internet" is a common noun. "The Internet" refers to a particular internet, the one we're using right now.
"The internet is down" is quite possibly true.
"The Internet is down" is almost certainly false.
However, you're right that one could refer to the Internet as "the internet" and be correct if ambiguous. I considered that when I mocked this claim, and decided that propagating proper usage trumped pedantry.
