Should I still save files as.HTM or just like.HTML
Although the two are interpreted equally by the Browser it seems to me that the extension .HTM has fallen into disuse. Should I still save my files as .HTM or should I always opt for .HTML?
It seems that in the early days the files were .html same, but because of Windows were forced to move to .htm (for having only 3 digits in the extension), but currently only see .html again.
I even did a test on the local server and put two index , um index.html and other index.htm , and to my surprise the index.html had preference in both Wamp and Vertrigo. That is, the file .HTML has preference... It also seems to me that some webservers do not get along well with .htm
Then there was doubt. We should no longer save files as .HTM thinking about longevity, maintainability, versatility and interaction of the application with other systems? Or maybe leaves like .HTM that " is quiet"?
OBS: still remember that Dreamwever at the time of Macromidia had by default save in .htm

There are no differences, one can use both .htm how much .html. The preference is personal.
However, depending on your server settings, it may prefer the index as wealcome page.htm or index.html or even both, or even something like index.php.
I prefer to use the long version, .html.
