A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

If you can't spell the word, I don't need to read further.
I regret to inform you that language has evolved and that is an accepted spelling.
The only correct spelling is "electronic mail", though "digital correspondence" is also acceptable these days.
I've always called it "getting mail-blasted on the information superhighway" but not many dictionaries include this alternative usage, and Merriam-Webster filed for a restraining order against me.
I'm going to assume you're kidding but incase you're not:
