Plus Codes capitalization inconsistent with marketing website #441

Closed fulldecent closed 2 months ago

fulldecent commented 3 years ago

The OLC naming guidelines specifies:

[Plus codes] should not be capitalised...

However, the Google marketing website at https://maps.google.com/pluscodes/ repeatedly fails to follow these specifications. Plus codes is used in title case. (There are some cases where it is used in a heading, but context shows that headings are using sentence case, not title case.)

I understand that those projects maybe not be directly related to this repository and the website is not under version control here (it should be!) but please work with me. I have a lot of work to do here and need some help...

Recommended tag: documentation

Unfortunate given how the documentation here was so insistent on lowercase, but Google's new style preference is "Plus Codes". Will keep this issue to track inconsistencies in code/documentation.

fulldecent commented 3 years ago

Understood. I'm on it.

This issue is partially fixed at https://github.com/google/open-location-code/pull/463.

All documentation is updated. And the implementations are not updated.

I would like to help more here. But requesting, please, a review of that PR first. We can merge that and then I can work on making the implementations conformant.

This seems to be closely related to #431 which suggests standardising on lower case "plus codes" in this repo. We can't have #431 saying "plus codes" and this issue saying "Plus Codes", so I'm closing this one and adding a note to the other.
