Does INTERNET != Internet?
In today's mail I received a flyer from Gerber Electronics describing
all the various ways to contact them, and in addition to the usual
phone, FAX, cable, MCI, EZlink, GEISCO addresses, they had the following
paragraph:
Our MCI Mail number is xxx-xxxx. This is particularly useful
for customers connected to INTERNET. They can send messages
to us via MCI MAIL by addressing them:
TO: Gerber Electronics/MCI IC: 403-8582
EMS: INTERNET/MCI IC: 403-8582
and of course we can reply to them via MCI MAIL if they
furnish their INTERNET address.
The above bears no relation to any Internet address I have seen before.
Do we have another trademark fight in the offing? How many Internets
can we have before overloading the language?
