I dont understand why people continue to write Eve as EvE. I understand WoW writes it like that, because it is an acronym. Words are capitalized, things like prepositions get the first letter uncapitalized. If you type Eve as EvE, you are saying that it is an acronym with two words starting with E and a preposition starting with V. Thats dumb. This isn't WoW, this isnt EvE, this is Eve.
Ok im done, back to ratting.

We speak and write a living language so common usage is correct.
Linguistic rules, like any other, are imaginary constructs and only rules so long as people follow them. Otherwise their just words.

It could be an Acronym; Enormous Veldspar Effort, Epeens Very Epidemic, Excellent Videogame Experience ... etc etc

Fixed, and proved your point...d'oh!
But seriously, that does annoy me as well, if only slightly. I usually write it as EVE, just because it says 'go Google this, then play it because it's awesome'.

Yes, we speak an evolving language. That doesn't justify every ignorant abuse of the language as simple evolution. Evolution promotes intelligent, efficient, useful traits to the next generation. Ignorant use and promotion of stupid language "traits" is de-evolution.
For example, people fail to grasp how to use the English language and are ALWAYS saying things like "an historic event". That doesn't make it right and "it's an evolving language" doesn't justify its use. It's simply wrong. If 80% of people use it incorrectly, it is still wrong.

Except that isn't what it means. Eve is a proper name.

It is nitpicking, nit picking, nitpickings, nitpicky or possibly nitpickerous?

Says you. And by the way, we're not flying around "EvE", either. It's New Eden.

I think CCP knows what their product is called and I have never (to my recollection) seen them use anything except EVE. Logos, banners, menus, guides, articles. Everything. Look around the site. It's ALWAYS all caps. "EVE". |
