enseñanza por Internet: El Diccionario panhispánico de dudas, de la Real Academia Española, indica que predomina el uso de Internet con mayúscula y sin artículo en el mundo hispanohablante. Agrega que si se usa precedido de artículo u otro determinante, es preferible usar las formas femeninas (la, una, etc.), por ser femenino el nombre genérico "red". Adhiere a este uso también el Vademécum de la Fundación del Español Urgente. 4, record 1, Spanish, - ense%C3%B1anza%20en%20l%C3%ADnea
