How Do You Say "Internet" in Latin?

[chris_gerrib]

There's an old Latin saying, "in vino veritas." Literally, "in wine, truth," and it suggests that things people say when they are drunk are more in line with their real opinions.

I've repeatedly interacted with people on the Internet and been told "they're not like that in person." So, I think a modern version of the old saw is "in Internet, truth."

The mechanism works similarly in both cases. Getting drunk impairs our ability to communicate complex ideas. Writing on the Internet (typically done rapidly) is less effective than interactive speech. Alcohol is chemically a disinhibitor, and the "anonymity" if not distance of the Internet is a virtual disinhibitor.

So, any guesses as how to say "Internet" in Latin?

"Inter" is already Latin, so the problem boils down to saying "fishnet" or some other synonym for "network."

Not easily solved on Google Translate. I am not a speaker of Latin, so though I can find public-domain English-Latin dictionaries on Google Books, I am unable to use them effectively.

Ann Geyer, a Facebook friend and Chicago fan, looked it up on a Vatican dictionary. It's interrēte.
