      I regret to inform you that language has evolved and that is an accepted spelling.

        The only correct spelling is “electronic mail”, though “digital correspondence” is also acceptable these days.

          I’ve always called it “getting mail-blasted on the information superhighway” but not many dictionaries include this alternative usage, and Merriam-Webster filed for a restraining order against me.
