So is Mashable. According to Mashable, the AP Stylebook is changing "Web site" to "website". Mashable swoons over the decision, insisting that it's long overdue, because, after all, if the language isn't twisted out of shape, it's not cool. Right? (OMG! Its da c00lz!)

What part of "a server on the World Wide Web" says common noun? In that context, Web is a proper noun--period.
