The author lost me at the capital T.

  if you are referring to the T in SmallTalk, that's wikiwords. once upon a time wikis were designed to detect words like that and automatically turn them into links to other wiki articles. that's also the reason why all articles on wikipedia start with a capical letter even though sometimes that is incorrect.

    Nope. Here's Smalltalk being discussed on https://wiki.c2.com/?SmalltalkLanguage https://wiki.c2.com/?SmalltalkLanguage

        > … T in SmallTalk, that's wikiwords… https://wiki.c2.com/?SmalltalkLanguage https://wiki.c2.com/?SmalltalkLanguage There we can see a whole pile of Smalltalk wikiwords none of which are SmallTalk.

          but all of them have a middle capital in there. that's the feature. you can't use Smalltalk as a wikiword. only SmallTalk, SmalltalkSomething or SomethingSmalltalk

            As readthenotes1 — only SmalltalkSomething or SomethingSmalltalk
