How to write words related to the Internet?

How to write words related to the Internet?

What is the letter of the word Internet?

Internet can be used as a noun (independent part of speech) or as the first part of compound words. It depends on the writing.

When used independently, it is now possible to write with uppercase and lowercase letters : access to the Internet and access to the Internet, use the Internet and to use the Internet. But Runet - only with a capital: Runet Prize.

When used as the first part of compound words, it is correct only with lowercase and through a hyphen : Internet site, Internet user, Internet Olympiad, Internet addicted .

This spelling is established in the 4th edition of the Russian Spelling Dictionary of the Russian Academy of Sciences (M. , 2012).

How did you write before?

In previous editions of the Russian Spelling Dictionary, a clear division was made: Internet as the first part of compound words - only with a lowercase letter, like now (Internet site), but Internet when used independently - only with capital letter (Internet access), spelling of this word with a lowercase letter when used independently was not .

0009 Internet , in accordance with the practice of writing and the decision of the Spelling Commission of the Russian Academy of Sciences, two options are proposed - with an initial capital and with a lowercase letter ”(quote from the preface to the 4th edition).

What letter to write other names of the Internet - network, web, web?

When used in the meaning of 'Internet', the words Network and Web are capitalized: access to the Web, find information on the Web. But if these words are preceded by an adjective Worldwide , then it is it that is written with a capital letter, and the words network and web - with a lowercase letter. Correct: World Wide Web, World Wide Web.

The spelling of web / web is similar to the spelling of internet / internet. When used independently, it is possible: Web and Web (Web Access and Web Access). The first part of compound words web - written in lower case and appended with a hyphen: website, webmaster, web design, web address, webcam. But the words weblog and webmaker are written together.

How do you spell online and offline?

The first parts of the compound words online and offline are written in lowercase letters (note the single letter f in the word offline ) and are appended with a hyphen: online discussion browser, offline directory. , offline. Writing in lowercase is preserved even when these words are used independently: Are you online or offline now?

How many letters r are in the word blog(r)er?

In the word , blogger spells one . Here is how the Chairman of the Spelling Commission of the Russian Academy of Sciences V.V. Lopatin explains this spelling:

anglicisms in the source language, which is characterized by doubling the root consonant before the suffix. Since this phenomenon is alien to Russian writing, one should write, for example, Shoping, But not shopping (cf. Cr. Shop , also borrowed from English), Blogger and Bloging (cf. Blog ), scanner (c. scan ), 9999 spammer (cf. spam ), rapper (cf. rap ), although in the English etymons of these derivatives the consonant is doubled before the suffixes - er and - ing . Settled spellings of long-loaned words stopper (sport.) and controller (tech.), moreover, pronounced with a long consonant, should not prevent the codification of new similar borrowings with a single consonant before the suffix.

What has been said, however, does not apply to borrowings-anglicisms like banner, plotter, jogging , kidnapping , etc., which in Russian do not have single-root correspondences with a single consonant.

How are website names spelled?

When writing site names, general rules apply: names are written with a capital letter and enclosed in quotation marks: portals "Yandex", "Rambler", "Culture of written speech"; social networks "Facebook", "VKontakte" (the official name of this resource is exactly that, although it contradicts the norms of Russian writing; it should be: "Vkontakte ", compare: magazine "Behind the wheel" , not "ZaRulem »).

The component after the dot (if present in the name) is written in lower case: Gramota.ru

We believe that in everyday use (when transmitting colloquial speech in writing) it is permissible to write in lowercase without quotes: Facebook post, check the word on the letter, Google advertising link, Instagram photo (an analogy with the rules that describe household use of brand names, products and goods).

Web addresses of sites (written both in Latin and Cyrillic) are written in lower case: www.gramota.ru ; president.rf.

The linguist told how to correctly spell words related to Victory Day

Vitaly Belousov / RIA Novosti

About the Great Patriotic War

First, you need to remember how to spell the combination: "Great Patriotic War". The first two words in it are always capitalized, and the word "war" is always lowercase. Also, notes Tamara Skok, it is important to avoid blasphemous bureaucratic abbreviations of the Great Patriotic War and the Great Patriotic War.

By the way, if we recall the peculiarities of writing the names of wars, the first word in the name of a historical event is written with a capital letter: World War I, World War II, Civil War, Seven Years' War, but the Great Patriotic War!

The linguist notes that when choosing the prepositions "K" or "KO" (To the Victory Day or To the Victory Day?), one should remember that both options are possible.

And explains the difference: if a calendar date is indicated, we choose the preposition "K" (finish the repair of the memorial by Victory Day). And if the coincidence with the event is indicated, the preposition KO (concert for Victory Day) is used.

Tamara Skok also reminded that if we are talking about a day on the calendar, we write with a lower case - on May 9, precipitation is not expected. Tomorrow the ninth of May is Victory Day. If the date turns into the name of a holiday, we write in capital letters: The whole country solemnly celebrates May 9th.

Tamara Skok answers the question, which is of interest to the compilers of holiday greetings, in which case the noun corresponding to the date should be: 77 years of the Great Victory or 77 years of the Great Victory: grammatically correct as follows: 77 years (what?) of the Great Victory, 77 years since day (what?) of the Great Victory.

And piety in relation to an event or object determines in a number of combinations the spelling of all words with a capital letter: Great Victory, Victory Parade, Victory Banner and, of course, Victory Day as the name of a national holiday. It is correct to congratulate veterans and participants of the Great Patriotic War like this: "Congratulations on Victory Day! Congratulations on the Great Victory Day! Congratulations on the Great Victory over fascism!"

Also, according to the philologist, it is important to remember that it is correct to celebrate the anniversary of the Victory, and not the anniversary of the Victory Day.

About everything Soviet

The linguist writes: when choosing between Soviet or Soviet, one should take into account that the adjective is written with a capital if it refers to the name of the state: the Victory of the Soviet Union in the Great Patriotic War. For example, during these years the Soviet state threw all its forces into the fight against fascism.

Word combinations are written with lowercase: Soviet power (but: power of the Soviets), Soviet people, Soviet people, Soviet times, Soviet government (but: the whole Soviet country, the valiant Soviet army, from the Soviet information bureau).

About the Wehrmacht and the Reichstag

But when it comes to German names from the Second World War, you have to turn to dictionaries for help. In the Russian Spelling Dictionary of the Russian Academy of Sciences, edited by Vladimir Lopatin and Olga Ivanova, the following words are written with a lowercase letter: Abwehr, Wehrmacht, Luftwaffe, Reich (Second Reich - the name of the German Empire until 1918, Third Reich - about Nazi Germany), Reichstag (meaning " parliament"). The Reichstag is written with a capital letter if we are talking about a building taken during the storming of Berlin: the Banner of Victory was hoisted over the Reichstag.

During the Great Patriotic War, many heroic deeds, real feats were committed. Those who distinguished themselves were awarded orders and medals. Here is how the names of famous military insignia are spelled correctly: the Order of the Red Star, the Order of the Red Banner, the Order of the Patriotic War, the Order of Victory, the Order of Glory, the Order of Suvorov, the Gold Star medal, the medal For Courage, the medal For the Capture of Berlin ", the medal "For military merit" ...

About the Immortal Regiment

You should know which words are capitalized in complex names. For example, in the combination Headquarters of the Supreme High Command, it is customary to write all three words with a capital letter, but at the same time it is correct - the Supreme Commander, Skok writes.

Also, in the names of the fronts of the Great Patriotic War, which include geographical definitions from two components, both components are written with a capital letter: South-Western Front, North Caucasian Front.
