Why is Gmail called email?
Excuse me, but I've been wondering about something for a while now. It's about the naming convention of Gmail. Specifically, why is it called "email" when it's just one of many email service providers? I understand that "email" stands for electronic mail, but it seems like a generic term that encompasses all forms of digital messaging, not just the one offered by Google. So, what's the history behind Gmail being referred to as "email," and why has this term stuck despite the existence of other email platforms?
