Is anybody else bothered by the name chosen for this section?

"Clean Room" is what you want, and will never get, from you teenage offspring.

"Cleanroom" is the term industry uses.

Thoughts?

I'm not saying that Wikipedia is the ultimate source on this (or any other) subject, but...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cleanroom

(read first sentence)

Just looking at some sites via Google, it seems some manufacturers of cleanroom/clean room products jump back and forth between the two spellings--even within their own websites.

What about "Foodservice"? Or is it "Food Service"?

Masterformat has "Foodservice" but some of our consultants have "Food Service". Compounded words are always the trickiest.
