How do you refer to the “internet”?

[Riesstiu IV]

Over the years, the Internet has gained alternative references ranging from the net to the World Wide Web, etc. What do you call it?

 

[GenMarshall]

I call it the wireless (Mainly because I tend to be connected via the wireless network at home and school )

Wireless is RADIO!

Just the "internet" for me. Nothing fancy.

 

[Cheezy the Wiz]

I am a goofy kinda guy, so I like to call it the interweb, because it's a cross of "Internet" and "World Wide Web;" I just think it sounds funny, and that's how my friends refer to it, and for the same reason.

 

[Sidhe]

Interweb.

Or my personal lacky for easing boredom, in more ways than I care to count, it isn't quite learning and education, but I feel it can provide me with my baser needs in terms of expression. Time in the real world is better, but it's often more expensive. If I can't do socialisng in the real world without financial constraint then the web force climactic bang gang is the next best thing.

[Abaddon]

Normally "the internets", but sometimes "intarweb" or "intarwebs".

 

[Wolfe Tone]

The tinternet or just the internet.

Ah yes! How could I leave out Bush's use of "the internets" with concern to cyber-terrorism. I would appreciate if a mod could add that as an option.

 

[The Last Conformist]

I use "the Net" and "the Internet" with roughly equal frequency, I think.

I sometimes call it det oändliga internätet, which translates as "the infinite inter-net/web".

 

[Erik Mesoy]

I always use "the internet" when talking about it in general, but there's a special case of "Teh Intarwebs" for whenever I'm mocking or parodying it - for example: "I found it on teh intarwebs, it must be true!"

 

[YNCS]

Usually the internet.

 

[Perfection]

I usually call it "forums.civfanatics.com"

 

[Erik Mesoy]

I usually call it "forums.civfanatics.com"

I regularly type in forums.civfanatics.com/forumdisplay.php?f=18 (or 69).

 

[Turner]

I usually call it 'The Internet', but a fair amount of the time I call it 'The Net'.

 

[Masquerouge]

Wow, I'm the only one so far to say the web, as in "look it up on the Web" ?

 

[Godwynn]

The Intarwebnet

 

[The 777 Hoax]

The Devil.


Eh, seriously, The Internet.

 

[puglover]

ehhh... the Internet? BTW, I invented it. Al Gore stole the credit from me.
