There's no real reason for it to annoy me so much, but I was just thinking about how I can't stand when people seemingly randomly capitalize words relating to technology without the intention of drawing emphasis to them: GIT, NODE, JIRA, JAVA... why??
I think people sometimes like to imagine that these things are acronyms even though they aren't.
I think people sometimes JUST do it for NO good reason other than to DRAW emphasis
In the case of Jira, it was in the past officially stylised by Atlassian as JIRA.
@dang Yeah, I don't think this should be in caps. Ada was the woman's name.
Probably an autocorrect; the language is less commonly used than the Americans with disabilities act.
This drives me crazy: whenever I type 'emacs' on my iPad, I get 'emasculated' (and the iPad keeps insisting on it even when I try to correct the word).
It should autocorrect as the female name Ada, my phone does.
Yes, the language is named after Ada Lovelace - a person credited with writing one of the first computer programs. It is not an acronym.
