Actually both are wrong, because the tall letters were the name of the 
axes themselves, while small letters were the coordinates.
'X-axes' is wrong
'X_axis' is wrong
'axis of X' is wrong, too.

('x-axis' is correct or possibly 'axis of x')

Other than you I can speak German very well.

But there is no point to do that in this UseNet group, were the language 
is English.

So, my decision was to write annotations into the English translation, 
which is most commonly used.

You may regard this as questionable, but I think, it is perfectly ok.
