Remember Googlefight? Meet SpellWeb, which is Spellfight version of Googlefight. Find out if "Email" or "E-mail" is more popular. Alas, capitalization makes no difference since it’s not case sensitive.

The point here is not to argue over which way to spell electronic mail is correct, but to see which is being used more often. Therefore, if I am in control of a Web site’s style sheet, I’d want to go with the one that’s more popular so it’ll show up more often in search engine results.

Surprisingly, "Email" or "E-mail" are not too far apart in the results. Once again, it’s a toss up!

Even though "Web site" is two words, you can check that one out against "website."

Darn shame that we can’t check for capitalization, a frequent problem with Web-related words.
