"Email", "hashtag" and "Wi-Fi" are already entrenched in Russian spelling dictionaries.

1. Network

We can write "Internet" or "Internet" - with a capital letter or with a small letter. But if we use the synonym "Network", meaning the entire World Wide Web, then the Reference and Information Portal GRAMOTA. RU should use a capital letter.

In the expression "Internet" the first word is written with a lowercase letter, and the second - with a capital letter.

2. Offline

In the Russian language, very often in the borrowed words, the doubled consonant, which is in the source language, is not preserved. For example, as in the word "office", derived from the English office. The same thing happened with offline, which became the Reference and Information Portal GRAMOTA. RU Russian “offline” with one “f”.

3. Traffic

And here the situation is the same: in spite of the English traffic, in the Russian language the word is spelled Reference and information portal GRAMOTA. RU with one "f".

In general, the doubled "f" in Russian is often "unlucky": "offshore", "offside" (offside), "coffee" (sofee).

4. Weifai

This word was not in dictionaries for a long time, but in 2020 it was added by the Academic Spelling Resource ACADEMOS to the electronic spelling dictionary of the Institute of the Russian Language of the Russian Academy of Sciences. Despite the English wi-fi, there is no hyphen in Russian.

5. Cash

In Russian words, after solid consonants, "e" is written, and in foreign languages - "e". This is the general rule of Spelling commenting on the Russian dictionary, of which, of course, there are exceptions: "mayor", "master", "rap", "sandwich" and others. But "cache" does not apply to them and the Reference and Information Portal GRAMOTA. RU is written through "e".

6. Web design

The spelling of this word also corresponds to the above rule, so here is "web" Reference and Information Portal GRAMOTA. RU through "e".

Note that words that start with “web” are hyphenated: “web design”, “web document”, “web project”. The exceptions are "weblog" and "webmaker".

7. Email

It was in this form that the English email got into the Russian spelling dictionary. "E" after "m" is written according to the already mentioned rule about writing "e" and "e", and the first letter - "and" - reflects the Spelling commenting of the Russian dictionary, the pronunciation of the borrowed word.

8. Messenger

This is the correct spelling of the Reference and Information Portal GRAMOTA. RU this word. Three "e" s correspond to the spelling rule "e" and "e", two "s" are the case when doubled consonants are preserved, and "j" is a tribute to the English pronunciation of g before e.

9. Online shopping

Words with the first part "Internet" are written with a hyphen at the Reference Information Portal GRAMOTA. RU. And in “shopping”, despite the English shopping, there was only one “p”, because in the Russian language there is a Spelling commentary on the Russian dictionary of the word “shop” with one “p”.

10. Social network

In this compound-shortened word, the dot after the "ts" is not needed, as in the words "wall newspaper", "collective farm" or "special forces". It was in this form that the social network added the ACADEMOS Spelling Academic Resource to the dictionary in 2020.

Dots are put on the Rules of Russian spelling and punctuation in graphic abbreviations - a short recording of words and phrases. When reading, such abbreviations are replaced by full words, for example, we write "rub." - we read "rubles", we write "years." - we read "years". And when reading compound abbreviated words, they are pronounced the same way as they are written, for example, "overalls" and "social network".

11. Account

This is the case when the doubled consonant is preserved when borrowing. In the English account there are two c's, and the word also got into the Russian dictionary.

12. Hashtag

In this case, the general rule about writing "e" and "e" also applies, therefore the word is written in the Reference and Information Portal GRAMOTA. RU through "e". No hyphen is needed inside.

13. Dislike

Many people write this word in Russian with "s", because in English it is dislike. However, the pronunciation corresponds to "z". It was with this letter "dislike" that the Academic Spelling Resource ACADEMOS was included in the dictionary.

14. Blogger

In English blogger doubles g to keep the closed syllable and pronunciation [o]. If -er is added to the blog without such doubling, then the syllable will be open and should be read as [ou]. The same thing happens, for example, with the words rapper (from rap), spammer (from spam), and scanner (from scan). Russian reading rules are different, so there is no need to double.

In addition, in dictionaries there is a single-root "blog" with only one "g", and when other words are formed, the consonants are not fundamentally doubled, this is alien to our language. Therefore, it contains "rapper" (there is "rap" with one "p"), "spammer" (there is "spam") and "scanner" (there is "scan"). And in the word "blogger" there is also written the Reference and Information Portal GRAMOTA. RU one "g".

15. Media resources

Words with the first part “media-” are written as one piece. The presence in the Russian language of the adjective "media" allows the Spelling commentary of the Russian dictionary to consider "a" in this word as a connecting vowel. In addition, there is a rule according to which complex nouns are written together Spelling commenting of the Russian dictionary if they consist of two stems that coincide with independently used nouns, and the first stem ends in a vowel.
