Every time I see XMLHttpRequest it makes me a little ill.
"CamelCase" both acronyms (XmlHttpRequest) or neither (XMLHTTPRequest); what sort of stupid or evil people are responsible for allowing camels to be crossed with caps?!
Can we return the favour and make the "responsible" individuals ill for a while? Nothing too nasty: maybe give them a general malady for a few weeks? Or maybe get them moved into the management stream where they won't damage any more APIs. Dox them with the Pox.
All the reasons I can think someone might do this lead me to think they should be removed from an engineering position: they just didn't care; they were trolling; they didn't even think about it; they thought it was a good idea.
Any help appreciated.
PS: My favorite animals are camels; I wish no harm to them. They have a strange combination of being curious, goofy, obstreperous, and well designed.
