Hallo Michael,

Zum Abschluss: Es geht nur um die _amtliche_Rechtschreibung_! Im
privaten, darf jeder schreiben, wie ihm der Schnabel... ähh.. die Feder
gewachsen ist! Das ist eine Freiheit, die man sich bewusst nehmen kann.
ich bin z.B. kein Freund der "eMail" oder "E-Mail". Bei mir heißt das
"Email", solange ich dass nicht unbedingt "korrekt" schreiben muss ;-)

da bist du in illustrer Gesellschaft mit Donald Knuth, dem Erfinder von Tex.

" A note on email versus e-mail

Newly coined nonce words of English are often spelled with a hyphen, but the 
hyphen disappears when the words become widely used. For example, people used 
to write ``non-zero'' and ``soft-ware'' instead of ``nonzero'' and 
``software''; the same trend has occurred for hundreds of other words. Thus 
it's high time for everybody to stop using the archaic spelling ``e-mail''. 
Think of how many keystrokes you will save in your lifetime if you stop now! 
The form ``email'' has been well established in England for several years, so 
I am amazed to see Americans being overly conservative in this regard. (Of 
course, ``email'' has been a familiar word in France, Germany, and the 
Netherlands much longer than in England --- but for an entirely different 
reason.) "

Auf der Seite gibt er übrigens noch ein paar nette Infos zu Email und Co.
