The form "website" has become the standard spelling, but previously "Web site" (capitalised) and "web site" were also widely used. Some academia, some large book publishers, and some dictionaries still use "Web site," reflecting the origin of the term in the proper name World Wide Web. There has also been similar debate regarding related terms such as web page, webmaster, and webcam.
Among leading style guides, the Reuters style guide,[5] The Chicago Manual of Style,[6] and the AP Stylebook (since April 2010)[7] all recommend "website."
Among leading dictionaries and encyclopedias, the Canadian Oxford Dictionary prefers "website," and the Oxford English Dictionary changed to "website" in 2004.[8] Wikipedia also uses "website," but Encyclopædia Britannica[9] (including its Merriam-Webster subsidiary[10]) uses "Web site."
Among leading language-usage commentators, Garner's Modern American Usage acknowledges that "website" is the standard form,[11] but Bill Walsh, of the Washington Post, argues for using "Web site" in his books and on his website[12] (however, the Washington Post itself uses "website"[13]).
Among major internet technology companies, Microsoft uses "website" and occasionally "web site",[14][15][16] Apple uses "website",[17] and Google uses "website".[18]
