E-Learning, however you spell it, seems to conjure up nightmares for most Training Managers. It has attracted way too mcuh bad press (gleefully cheered on by the purveyors if ILT, sho started the rumours in the first place :) ). Let's just call learning, learning. I’m with Jay.

In addition to unnecessary hyphens, if only we could eliminate worthless and arbitrary decals on new products (the removal of which has cost me far too many hours sweating with a rag and a can of WD-40), world productivity would rise at least, oh, say 10%. :) Agreed, Eamon.

If only for <strike>laziness</strike> simplicity's sake I prefer elearning. I if you add up all the hours spent typing those hyphens over a lifetime its a criminal waste. I think the lack of hyphen is much more prevalent generally - we don't have i-phone, i-pod etc). A lot of java/javascript related things start with a j but forgoe the hyphen (jboss, jquery, etc). Same with xml (xquery, xpath etc.) - Eamon I’ve spent many sleepless nights on this one awakening in the small hours screaming “A hyphen, a hyphen my kingdom for a hyphen”.
