Well, in fairness to NI, you're not allowed to have lowercase letters on license plates.  Not any plate I've seen anyway, and I've seen a lot.  My dad is a big collector.

(I'm assuming I'm not overlooking another use of it..)

Ding ding ding we have a winner. Caps only on license plates. NI is of the hook ... *this* time.

I received a resume one time where the person was applying for a test position with a requirement they have LabVIEW experience. Considering test people should be focused on identifying mistakes and any serious LabVIEW programmer knows how to write LabVIEW it amazed me when the applicant's resume had LabVIEW written five different ways. Even worse not one of them was the correct way. I had to actually had to interview this person since another manager had decided to bring the person in. Needless to say I did not recommend the person.

This picture is making the rounds on facebook, apparently dating back to the time when NI tried to decide on a name for their new software product.

 

Even in our lab I sometimes need to correct the spelling. Years ago, there was a molecular graphics system called "WebLab Viewer" and people sometimes tried to ask me about one of my lab viewer programs.

From this thread it has become obvious that NI has completely missed the boat.  They should simply stop spelling  as a text "word" and use only the graphical image for the graphical language, .  However, this does tend to slow typing, because  does not appear on my keyboard.

I have received this newsletter only today and after reading this post only some hours ago, my "misspellings of LabVIEW" trigger was ready to fire.

BUT WAT IF UR CPSALCOK KY IS STCUK ON AND YOU TIPE LABVIEW LIEK 'LABVIEW'?

"DVD Disk" and "ATM Machine" are other ones that annoy me.

Well, I for one don't care that much, mainly because I know the pains I have to go through to properly spell or capitalize brand names I'm not used to writing (pop quiz - Powerpoint? Power Point? PowerPoint?, Facebook? facebook? Face Book? FaceBook? who can get both answers right without looking? Is there even one right answer? In the second case I can say that the home page has two different versions, one in the logo and one in the title of the page).

If someone put it on their resumes, where I would expect people to take the extra effort, it would certainly hurt their chances, but I wouldn't disqualify someone based solely on that.
