Hmm, 4 out of 5 occurrences were written by me. I happen to dislike the
"PulseAudio" spelling, because it makes typing harder and is against
normal grammar rules and causes trouble in the wiki. If the resulting
inconsistency annoys people, I guess I should stop doing that, unless we
have a consensus that the "official" spelling should be changed.
I've always assumed proper grammar goes out the window for proper
nouns. :)
Aesthetically, I like PulseAudio better,
Personally I have the opinion that grammatically proper spelling with a
capital starting letter and everything else lower case letters would be
the optimum. The name would then also be spelled correctly in newspaper
and other media having rules to follow the official rules rigorously.
but even otherwise, by convention it'd be nicer to just spell it like
that since that's how it's been done everywhere else.
That is a good point and probably the showstopper for change the
official spelling.
Obviously everyone thinks PulseAudio is the official spelling since the
homepage[1] spells it that way.
Best regards.
