My Mother often pluralizes email to 'emails' which is very confounding. One would not say I received severals 'mails' today, why emails? When I worked as a sommelier, I remember being irritated over the same sort of gross misunderstandings- ("Chardonnay- how can white Burgundy be Chardonnay? I do not like Chardonnay!!!" or "Merlot- I hate Merlot!! What do you mean this Pomerol is 85% Merlot! Robert Parker gave it 96 points.") I like this blog very much.

We can use whatever we want. Even in the wrong way, if a number of people r using, it becomes the right way. Well, it’s just a means of communication. We can use whatever we want.

The Internet is the proper name for the network we all know and love, but any network of networks is an internet. The IEEE used to make this distinction on the RFCs, but it's not that common to see it anymore. Actually, saying “internets” is correct, while spelling it with a capital I is not.
