As the root of the Internet service called the World Wide Web (WWW), you'll hear the term "Web" used in a variety of ways. Most commonly, the phrase "the Web" is synonymous with the WWW. Equally important, a Web site, or a collection of interlinked Web pages, may be called "a Web" or "your Web." This means it's important to pay attention to the article used before the word when it appears in a sentence (whether here in the Encyclopedia or elsewhere).
