Not important in the scheme of things, but...
I really really struggle with how the major style guides say to decapitalize "Internet" and "Web." These are not generic things. There is not more than one Internet or more than one (World Wide) Web. They are proper nouns for singular things. When we decapitalize them, we forget that these come from a specific history, and that history could have been done differently.
