Camel case is very important because I just came across a post with #whoremembers and I got excited because I thought it was #WhoreMembers until I realized it's just #WhoRemembers.
@aburtch Let's not forget the other similarly genuine classics: Mole Station Nursery, Experts Exchange, Choose Spain, and PowerGen Italia that became domain names with only the "dot" extension.
In a whole other life, I was running the systems for an animation studio which had worked on a few minor things before I arrived. I was looking at the domains which we had registered, and one of them puzzled me, until I learned that it was cautionary, as they had produced a cartoon called Emma's Wings...
At my university in Mexico, the Faculty of Science's Academic Council (Consejo Académico, in Spanish) had a website whose URL ended in cacademico, which I always read as "caca de mico", monkey poop.
Works with domains too, which are obvs not case sensitive. Remember when an electricity company in Italy went with a new domain, and it took a moment for some people to see that it was supposed to be
PowergenItalia.whatever and not PowerGenitalia.whatever
@bytebro I worked as a sysadmin/network/data centre manager for a hosting and domain registration company from 2000 to 2006. One of our customers was an angling shop in Wickford, Essex.

I thought about (Hotel Las Vegas / Hot Ella’s Vegas) but I was unhappy with it on several levels, one being the misogyny that was creeping in over the puns.
Remember kids. Capital letters matter. I'm always surprised by the lack of situational awareness of a lot of people using the internet. Until I remember that most people don't have situational awareness in the real world.
On our current road trip we stopped, as usual, at the #Nowhere #NowHere coffee and chocolate shop in Vermillion Bay, Ontario. If you’re ever driving Hwy 17 you’ll be tempted to stop at Dryden for coffee. Stop here instead. They roast their own beans for the coffee and chocolate, and the proprietors are lovely people.
No joke. In Russia there is a city called Perm, Пермь in Russian (Permian era in geology is named after it — en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Permian). Guess what the URL of their news website was. Now it's PermNews.ru, before it was the same words, but the other way around 😂
I never heard of camel case before and now I'm also learning about pascal case and snake case and kebab case and octopus case and I am GIDDY with new knowledge
