The BBC's style guide says the same. Acronyms (that is, abbreviations that are pronounced as a word, rather than as individual letters) get only one capital letter, eg. "Nasa" not "NASA". I guess it makes it easier to know how to pronounce an unfamiliar name. _______________________________________________ Wikimedia UK mailing list wikimediau...@wikimedia.org http://mail.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimediauk-l WMUK: http://uk.wikimedia.org
