NASA not Nasa. It’s an acronym not a word.
- tntn 7y agoCool. In some places it is common to only capitalize acronyms if they are pronounced as individual letters.
- zeristor 7y agoThis a NASA article on a NASA web site
- ComputerGuru 7y agoYes, and (now, at least) the linked article has NASA capitalized in the title. (Unless you intended to reply to @tntn)
- totalZero 7y agoI don't personally agree with this convention, but apparently some people do: "A growing convention, which I first came across in Robert Bringhurst’s The Elements of Typographic Style, dictates that if an acronym is pronounced as a word, then it should not be written in all caps. (As opposed to initialisms, which are pronounced as a series of letters. Compare Nato to USA.)" http://scratchtap.com/when-acronyms-should-not-be-capitalized/ http://scratchtap.com/when-acronyms-should-not-be-capitalize...
