Dear All,

Perhaps particularly in followup to Gareth's WOTY suggestions, I would

like to nominate 'Internot' (sometimes seen with the NOT part highlighted)

as a WOTY for 1997.

Do you have any citations, John? I've seen it used in this sense at least

once, but I've mainly heard the term Internot used to refer to an Internet

that's not working. Older related terms are "notwork" (a downed or slow

network), "nyetwork" (same thing), and "Nyetscape" (nickname for the AOL Web

browser).
