Pedant Corner: How to write HuCARD
« on: April 08, 2013, 07:49:02 AM »
Are there any examples in official documentation/game manuals/Japanese magazines in which HuCARD is written as HuCard (instead of capital letters for CARD). English language magazines don't count.

I've never seen any, which is why I stick to HuCARD, but I would be interested to know otherwise.

I think HuCARD is correct, but only when the more formal huey isn't being used.

I switched over to "HuCARD" when I realized the folly of my ways.

However, I still insist on using "PC-Engine" instead of "PC Engine" (I won't go into my reasons here)... AND I WILL DO SO UNTIL I AM AS DEAD AS A DOORNAIL.

Since it's shortened from Hudson, shouldn't it be pronounced as huh-kahrd?

But that sounds retarded, so I'm gonna stick with Huey (brother of Dewey and Louie).

Vic Tori Rune is my favorite huckard for the Toorg Raw Effects dash ONE SIX. I like it even more than Oh You Tea Rune for Gene's Sis.

Everyone will have forgotten about the Huey once the almighty AbCARD comes out. It strengthens and improves your Abs, guaranteed.
