Videogame vs. Video Game
"Using Google, we'll take an informal poll on the popularity of 'video game' versus 'videogame'. As of this writing (08/11/2007), a search for the term 'video game' returns 80,900,000 results, while 'videogame' returns 12,000,000 results. It's a colossal understatement to say that the usage of the term 'videogame' is in the minority on the Internet. Of all 92,900,000 uses of the terms 'videogame' and 'video game' combined (both presumably talking about the same thing), 87% use 'video game', while only 13% use 'videogame'. Even barring all other arguments I put forward, that result alone should be reason enough to either change the IGJA's style guide entry on 'videogame' to 'video game', or at least list both of them as acceptable forms."
