The Associated Press has officially announced they will remove the hyphen from “e-mail” in their style guide. Other changes include changing “smart phone” to “smartphone” and “cell phone” to “cellphone.”
I personally like the space removal. Even last year when “web site” became “website” I was glad to see it gone.
But I will miss the hyphen.
I wonder when “cloud” will become a proper noun like “Internet” and get the uppercase treatment it deserves?

Smart idea for a startup…
Hour.ly matches up temp job seekers with employers and has partnered with TinyChat. This ought to be a great partnership for them. If you have never checked out TinyChat, it’s a very impressive video chat system that requires no thick client install.
This ought to really speed up the process to get temporary positions filled.
