It’s slang, and most humans use slang. The best programmers can do with slang is either capitalize or add irrelevant letters to a word. That is how programmers rebel I guess.

With AIR, I have always written it capitalized since I knew it was an acronym from the beginning when it was called Apollo with the cute little rocket ship.

Ha, your domain is FeathersUI dot com, you don’t get to complain if everyone calls it FeathersUI :p

Actually screw that… all the free work you’ve done for us all? complain away!

One funny thing I do now, is capitalize AIR everytime I write it, even when using it in natural sentences, so annoying!

This ‘re-naming’ comes up constantly with my coworkers when discussing the enterprise app that I’ve built. It’s really funny how many different ways people can spell a simple name.

Love the work you are doing with Feathers. Keep up the good work!

Oh no, Jon! Don’t start giving people ideas. That one’s even worse. Even if I were to use camel case, though, UI is an acronym, so I would capitalize each letter. You’re not one of those heathens who refers to Xml or Json in your class names, are you? Oh, man. I can’t even handle the idea of feathersUi. I might actually get truly emotionally unbalanced instead of playfully teasing.

Feathers. Feathers. Feathers. Whew! That’s better.

As it’s Flash, shouldn’t it be camelCase?

feathersUI? Or: feathersUi…
