    Default internet - again


    "Are you going to be online tonight?"

    "Are you going to log on the Internet tonight?"

    Hi,
    How would a native say such thing, please?
    Thanks!

    The first is more common.

    BTW, in writing, on-line should still be hyphenated. Give it a few years to shed that slice.
