SpaceShipOne.

Am I the only one that thinks this name looks grammatically gross?
I have a strong personal aversion to StudlyCaps <sic> on compound words, like "CheckPoint" as opposed to "Checkpoint."
Actually, I'm trending more to a naming convention inspired by STL's lowercase-and-underscores.
So I would've called it "spaceship_one." ;)

The most hideous example of misappropriated caps that I can think of came from Windows 2000's nslookup:

C:\>nslookup *** Can't find server name for address 192.168.0.1: Non-existent domain *** Default servers are not available Default Server: UnKnown Address: 192.168.0.1

"UnKnown"? That's not even a real compound word.
Ew.
