E-mail will no longer be the same. The Associated Press announced Friday that e-mail is now email — that’s right, without the hyphen. For PR professionals and reporters everywhere, this is actually a big deal.
AP made the announcement on its Twitter feed:
“Language evolves. Today we change AP style from e-mail to email, no hyphen.”
Last year, AP finally decided to change Web site to website and cell phone to cellphone.
The latest changes will be reflected in the 2011 edition, as well as in the online AP Stylebook.
Readers, what do you think of the change? Do you miss the hyphen, or are you glad to see it go?
