I am sharing a new word I learned from some copyeditors last night: CamelCased.
Examples include MasterFormat, FedEx, etc..., usually used as a branding strategy. |

How nice to know there's a word for that! |

Wikipedia's explanation notwithstanding, I have found the following explanations more common:
"Camel Casing" is when the first letter of the term or "word" is lowercase but the first letter of each subsequent component is capitalized; e.g., "camelCasedTerm"
"Pascal Casing" is when the first letter of the term or "word" and the first letter of each subsequent component are capitalized; e.g., "PascalCasedTerm" |

Wow! Pascal! Does anyone code in that language anymore? And I never new when I was tinkering in C and Visual Basic I was using "Pascal Case." |

John, I'm not sure that anyone outside of this forum even knows that Pascal was anything other than a mathematician... |

Lynn, I wouldn't be surprised if only a very small portion of those outside this forum had any knowledge of either the programming language or the mathematician. |

You ain't heard nothin' yet. Pascal is also a unit of pressure measurement in the SI (International System). Also, that notable Frenchman has his own law, "Pascal's Law."
Lynn, You may now go home and take off the next two days. |

Don't forget his triangle!

Wow! A case, a law, a triangle, a pyramid too, and what else? What has Pascal NOT done? |

But, I'm pretty sure that "Pascal Case" was derived from computer programming, not pressure, mathematics or crudite. |

If memory serves, he was also a philosopher and theologian. Seems like he could have become a specifier too.
