From 5d25a2ee61ebe44a10617efed41dc54bb36fb625 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Honza Javorek Date: Tue, 18 Dec 2018 16:11:26 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] capitalize means first letter uppercase, the rest lowercase The examples and the reasoning indicates the author of the rule meant uppercase instead of capitalization. According to Wikipedia, capitalization is "writing a word with its first letter as a capital letter (uppercase letter) and the remaining letters in lower case", while the rule apparently tries to prevent exactly that. --- README.md | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/README.md b/README.md index 8924f32c..0ae718ed 100644 --- a/README.md +++ b/README.md @@ -3268,7 +3268,7 @@ Other Style Guides ``` - - [23.9](#naming--Acronyms-and-Initialisms) Acronyms and initialisms should always be all capitalized, or all lowercased. + - [23.9](#naming--Acronyms-and-Initialisms) Acronyms and initialisms should always be all uppercased, or all lowercased. > Why?
