Finally, something goes right in the world of journalism.

Now if we can just get them to change “Internet” to “internet,” all will be right with the cosmos.

How 'bout "intersite"?  Okay, not sure, but I think somebody else recommended that.  The irony.

How about e-mail to email?

That would be nice, too. 

Another pet peeve I have -- though I'm not sure whether it has anything to do with AP Style -- is when people capitalize words inside a URL, for example PerfectDuluthDay.com. Ugh.

That's nice.   Wait ... you follow AP Stylebook on Twitter?  Wait ... AP Stylebook has a Twitter page? ... Wait ... *head explodes*

I can now use the shift key just that much less.  Thank you, AP Stylebook.

Capitalizing URLs is mostly to make sense of long ones and to avoid any unpleasant confusion.

CamelCaps, as they are known, are actually very helpful mnemonic tools that help you remember phrases easier where the medium (a URL) doesnt allow for spaces. What a silly thing to be bothered by, Chase.
