Hey Bbc, it's NASA not Nasa.
- ceejayoz 7y agohttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capitalization_in_English https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capitalization_in_English > In British English, only the initial letter of an acronym is capitalized if the acronym is read as a word, e.g., "Unesco." You say "Bee Bee Cee", so they're the BBC. You do not say "Enn Aay Ess Aay", so it's "Nasa". "Nato" and "the UN". etc. Americans do it differently, but telling the folks who invented the language they're doing it wrong is a bit silly.
