myth: reddit is spelt 'Reddit'.
reality: reddit is spelt 'reddit'.
Fuck... That kind of screws up my username doesn't it.

Now /r/AskReddit just sounds silly.

Proper nouns are capitalized, and I don't care what the company prefers. I capitalize Adidas, too. I'm not kowtowing to the way a company wants to render it, making it more of a logo than a word. They can spell it in only red, all lowercase, or in smell-o-vision, but that's not how anyone outside of the company has to write it. Pretty much any style guide agrees with me, and I gots to make a living.

I don't care whether they disagree or not it will always be Reddit to me. Just because you're some internet company doesn't mean you get to change the way the English language works.

I don't get this one, are they saying that Reddit isn't a proper noun?

I wonder if that's the next reddit gold feature: change the case of the letters in your nickname any time you want.
