Can you please not print the British Broadcasting Corporation as Bbc when it should all be written in capitals? I'm a pedant where the English language is concerned and it aggravates me!

You're not getting a friendly ear with this one are you Juniper? ;-) I agree it looks scrappy when proper acronyms come out like that.

I know nowt about anything above Watford. It says 'There be Dragons' on my map.
Sorry JuniperEccles but due to how the titles of questions are structured, if we implemented a requirement for certain words to be all capitalised, it would send our system into loops. The title would be trying to make it Bbc, but the requirement would be trying to make it say BBC. This would cause our system to fall over, but it is something we can look into for the future.

One way to get around it would be to type BBC as B B C in the title field.
...or, ED, just leave the title as typed and let the poster type what they want in the title.
We already have one pedant(Peter) and one is quite enough.
