Bush coins the term "internets"
by ccManagerCommentary summary:
President George W. Bush pluralizes the internets
Text Commentary:
In this very brief clip from the second debate of the 2004 Presidential campaign, incumbent President George W. Bush referred to the internets in plural form: " I hear there's rumors on the Internets that we're going to have a draft..." Apparently this was not the first time that Bush publicly used the plural form; during a debate with Al Gore during the 2000 election, Bush also used the plural: "We can have filters on Internets..." but it was the 2004 utterance that got picked up as a full-scale internet meme.
