Wikipedia agrees with you: "The term is often mistakenly used as a synonym for the internet itself, but the Web is actually something that is available via the Internet, just like e-mail and many other Internet services."
Then again, "web" being a synonym for "net" it is not hard to see that a lot of people are confused. Is there any practical benifits of such confusing definitions? :)
I define "the web" to refer to HTTP and its variants, not the whole
Internet.
