In The Overflow blog's footer the word "Wordpress" should be stylized in Pascal Case as "WordPress". That's how it's usually written, see wordpress.com.

2Title case? It spelled "WordPress" and is independent of casing. "Wordpress" is a very common misspelling of "WordPress".– This_is_NOT_a_forumJan 8 at 2:27

@P.Mort.-forgotClayShirky_q I'm a bit confused right now of exactly what to call it...– bad_coderJan 8 at 2:28

1I urge the previous editor (not Sonic) to read the article they linked very closely - the title case is for Capitalized Words, the correct case for WordPress is PascalCase.– Oleg Valter is with UkraineJan 8 at 5:52

1@bad_coder it's WordPressCase. ;-)– Shadow The Kid WizardJan 8 at 7:24

6I want to split the difference and just go "The appropriate case" :D– Journeyman Geek ModJan 8 at 11:04

2I love that this post title doesn't even have WordPress in Pascal case, even though it's complaining about WordPress not being in Pascal case in the footer. That irony is delicious.– George StockerJan 8 at 13:00

3I think that is intentional, @GeorgeStocker. I even left it be when editing to preserve the play despite considering correcting it.– Oleg Valter is with UkraineJan 8 at 18:40

2I've edited to use the correct case for WordPress in the title. While there are arguments for and against doing so, IMO, it's better to show a correct version in the title, as that is more likely to reinforce correct usage. Most people only ever see the title of a post and never click to open the full question. For something like this, having only the incorrect version in the title provides yet another place where people see the incorrect usage, which reinforces using it in the incorrect way.– MakyenJun 28 at 13:26

@Makyen I agree that showing correct examples of stylizing is the best way to lead users to mimic the right way of writing it. Good edit!– bad_coderJun 28 at 13:30
