Stats -- Write With (AP) Style

Is it internet, or Internet?

It's Internet, with a capital "i." Did anyone look in AP Style under Internet?

Also, don't forget to spell out percent, instead of using the percent symbol (%).

Finally, it's usually necessary to spell out and capitalize an organization in first reference -- like U.S. Census Bureau -- but in subsequent references you can lower-case and make generic the reference -- like census bureau.
