Style guides? A few weeks back, I contacted The Guardian to correct the spelling of "PARC" quoting a well known online encyclopedia as a reliable source. I also pointed out that "parc" appeared to be a registered trademark. They were adamant. Their style guide said that it should be "Parc". "One of those who has spent his time studying what happens on Wikipedia is Ed H Chi, a scientist who works at the Palo Alto Research Center (Parc) in California." http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/2009/aug/12/wikipedia-deletionist-inclusionist But elsewhere (Technology Guardian) the spelling is correct:- http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/blog/2004/feb/25/formerxeroxpa Go figure.
