Forum:Capitalisation

Okay, so it's about time we laid to rest the matter of what terms are and are not capitalised. There's only one way to do this, short of asking Hussie himself, and that's to seek out pretty much every instance of each term and work out what best to use based on a combination of both frequency and recency, as well as taking into account the source, e.g. in-comic text generally trumps Hussie's tumblr, and characters' text quirks should be borne in mind

Scratch
N.B. Instances of mundane word usage don't count, e.g. HS 5771 ("") literally means scoring a scratch across the Beat Mesa with the Quills of Echidna, and thus is not an example of the specific term for the reset mechanism. I'll add the other tumblr posts tomorrow.

All instances of the narrative using the term have it lowercase. All characters known to use standard capitalisation, with the smug exception of, have it lowercase apart from Rose and Aranea, who are oddly inconsistent. Verdict? It's clearly meant to be lowercase
