E-mail or email?

[James]

Just curious as to how you refer to it? I personally use e-mail considering the word is derived from electronic and mail, hence the hyphen.

I was curious considering email seems to have been used in the screenshots shown (e.g. http://xenforo.com/community/attachments/screen-shot-2010-07-31-at-04-35-35-png.104/). Either seems to be correct in this day and age!

Or electronically transmitted mail communication if I'm feeling fancy.

I've morphed to email. It's been absorbed by the language now, no longer needs to be hyphenated.

 

[whynot]

Just email.

 

[Lisa]

Email here too. That hyphen is way over there *looks to top right of keyboard* and interrupts my flow when touch typing

I always refer to it as Electronic Mail, I don't believe in all this 'youth speak'.

But what defines a youth today?

I prefer email, the hyphen is a little oldschool imo.
