@crabby@mastodon.world Wikipedia calls the example as Pascal case or upper camel case. Your example with initial lower case is a example of lower camel case or dromedary case. I guess we are both correct and I have learnt something. Either way is better than all lowercase. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camel_case

@print@theforkiverse.com @crabby@mastodon.world Technically it is camelCase and PascalCase, yeah, but: - CamelCase is pretty self-evident, where PascalCase relies on obscure programming language trivia to even begin making sense. - It'll require WAY more explanation to understand the difference between camelCase and PascalCase, and even that there is a difference, than getting the point of CamelCase. - For this CamelCase is actually preferred to camelCase. - We're discussing ACCESSIBILITY, not programming conventions and history. And making that distinction is about as inaccessible as it gets. 🥴 · Take this for somebody with quite a pedant vein as well: just say/use CamelCase and forget the mess, being "correct" here is of no use. Or consider camelCase and CamelCase different words, if it helps. 😜
