A bit off topic, but companies/organizations that use punctuation in their name make sentences look screwy. The organization in this article is “Which?” which the Guardian faithfully reproduces (without the quote I used). As a result, every time the name of the organization comes at the end of a sentence, the Guardian doesn’t end it with a period, they end it with a question mark. This made me go back and reread at least one sentence because I thought I misread it. I read the sentence as a statement, not a question (and it was a statement.)
- howenterprisey 8y agoCompletely agreed. I think Wikipedia has the right idea for dealing with company names like this - use title case and omit anything that isn't pronounced. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Trademarks#General_rules https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Trad...
