I've always written "e-mail address", "e-mail" or "e-mail me". Many people don't use the hyphens, which to me just screams wrong but I often get into debates with clients about it. WHAT'S RIGHT? |

E-mail is probably more accurate but I think the hyphen has disappeared over the past twenty years or so. |

Electronic mail, or email for short. Obviously. |

Without the hyphen it's ehmail. That's silly |

I used to write it with a hyphen, now I don't. |

I think I've mostly moved over to email, but only because when I try to type e-mail it always comes out e-amil the first time. It's still Internet though.
