Capitalizing those Pesky Compound Brand Names

For heaven knows WHAT reason (the Grammar Maven is baffled), capitalizing a letter in the middle of a compound noun brand name is becoming more common. Maybe it has to do with trademarks. Maybe it has to do with phases of the moon.

In any event, here are the correct spacing and capitalization for a few that cross our desks frequently at DCL:

YouTube (cap T, no space)

PowerPoint (cap second P, no space)
Blackboard (no cap on second B)

Photoshop (no cap on S)

Have an error free weekend--grammatically speaking!
