E-mail won, or Ode to the pioneer of the Russian Web

Long time did not write and did not go to Habr. I remembered about him because of , and here the other day such a story happened ...

I had a chance to become a developer and webmaster of one state site. The work is completed, we upload content, we show all the officials.

A few notes that something has moved in IE6, but nothing in IE5.5. A couple of practical advice and recommendations. And here is a letter (excerpt):
')
Or maybe the angular word “e-mail” (it feels like there are some bureaucrats on the site) can be replaced by email?
The word creeps out in the form of feedback with information about the composition.


To which I burst out like this: (excerpt):

The word “e-mail” in 1994, at the dawn of Runet, was invented by Artemy Andreevich Lebedev, a famous Russian designer, the son of the writer Tatiana Tolstoy and a philologist Andrei Lebedev.
When this word was thought out, Artemy Andreevich just thought of bureaucrats-pepper shakers. This word has been specially devised so as to excite the consciousness of these very bureaucrats. The main confirmation of the fact that this word was seen now by the visitor.

Its use is not nearly as bad as Americanism Email.
Its use on the site is honor and respect to the great Russian pioneer Web, the son of a writer and philologist.


A day later, the answer comes:

Hello… ...!
I think that for the time being we will use the word “e-mail” everywhere.

……

Shake your hand,
...


end...

Note: All events and characters may be fictional. Perhaps this never happened. But just in case, all names (if any) have been changed.

About the 94th year: I thought of the date myself to be more convincing.
