Also: still no hebrew term for the "web". Unlike "interent" and many other
English/Latin/Greek words, web is actually very short, and thus quite easy
to use. Even though many people (including the author or editor of the
above-mentioned story) still confuse the "web" with "the internet".

(Eli Marmor once proposed ост: (Mem Samekh Ayin), the hebrew acronyms of
Maarag Sovev Olam. IT is a direct translation of WWW and a simple words,
but Hebrew doesn't like acronyms, I figure.)
