Alright jury, what is/are the correct and/or acceptable form/s of writing wireless fidelity (yes, I'm aware people use it to represent "wireless Internet" or "wireless network", but that is what the abbreviation stands for). Choices include:

• Wi-Fi

• All of the above choices, except no capitals

Example use in a sentence: "We can't finish our work right now because the wireless network is currently down."

The one that just looks wrong is “Wi Fi”. I can’t think of any acronyms that have a space?

“Wifi” suggest a term of endearment to one’s spouse.

Mind you in Spanish, it’s pronounced “wee fee” (which sounds like the cost to use a public toilet! ).
