As it did
last year around this time, the Associated Press is making some
tech-term related changes to its style guide. Hence forth
'e-mail' will be 'email,' 'cell phone' will be 'cellphone' and 'smart phone' will be 'smartphone.' Game-changing? No. But it's interesting to see the language evolve. The terms are no longer merely abbreviations for things like electronic mail or cellular telephone -- they're words unto themselves.
