Guys I need help, me and my two partners cant decide which capitalization of our company name we should use. I need feedback!

@henksteenbroek So can Protowaffle. For me ProtoWaffle is jarring and uncomfortable aesthetically, and incorrect english technically which may make it even more abrasive for me personally. But, I'm not sure if I am representative of the general public either.

@freemo @henksteenbroek Incorrect English, perhaps, but perfectly valid upper camel case, no?

Actually, that settles. I don't like camel case either. Voting "Protowaffle."

I like to imagine it has an exotic European pronunciation: pro-TO-waf-LAY.

@RomeoTBravo

Since Proto is a prefix not a word it would not be proper camel case either. PrototypeWaffle would be though.

@henksteenbroek

@henksteenbroek

"I" is a word not a prefix, thus proper camel case unlike "Proto-" which is a latin prefix

@RomeoTBravo

@freemo @henksteenbroek Well.

If we're going to be pedantic, proto- derives from Greek πρωτος, not Latin.

Also the inimitable Wikipedia tells me Pascal case is another name for upper camel case.

Wait. What were we talking about? ;)
