Ironically, what bothered me at first is the use of internet instead of Internet. An internet is a network of networks. The Internet is the global network of networks. I know that internet is becoming the standard but having been a network administrator, it does annoy me.

Just heard a podcast mention this.

I like your distinction, though I would believe it’s an uncommon one today.
