dictionary.com also saids that iv is a legal word for literati... my microsoft word says that it's not legal...

well, I guess it depends on how your using it. If your saying something like "I'm gonna go on the Internet" then I guess it should be, but if your saying "i need an internet program" then I guess it shouldnt be. :D

No its called Internet Explorer and not internet explorer, because its a name, which makes it proper to use capital letters.
