Annoyances: Creative Capitalization

In this first annoyance of what I hope will become a series (no, I’m no longer a happy elf), I’ll attack a thing that bugs me incredibly. Creative capitalization. I’m referring of course to the capitalization of parts of a word, to ones own amusement:

• MicroSoft
• MacroMedia
• PhotoShop
• FireFox
• DreamWeaver
• InDesign (Yes, I’m looking at you, Adobe!)
• NoScope

What’s next, AppLe? Your suggestions?

   Many of those aren’t the official way of capitalizing it, but you are aware of that, right?

   Har har, good one.

   Sure. I believe “InDesign” is the only one that’s correct in that form. As such, it annoys me less than FireFox. The same goes for UltraEdit and similar apps.
