Yr. humble correspondent would never be caught using a barbarism like
"Website".  As submitted, the article said "Web site", but then it was
screwed up manually by copyeditors to satisfy the publisher's house style.

Ditto the article's reference to two Linux network clients as "Telnet"
and "FTP":  Those lettercase errors were strictly publisher-induced damage.
(On the bright side, I got paid.)
