You have my apologies for that snippet. I believe I thought that
the "troll" accusations from a few bled over to you as well since
you are quite often sparring with Thomas.

I think that it's a far better practice to use "ECMAScript" to refer

many to the ECMA specifications. While I wouldn't use the same level
of technical pedantry to emphasize casing, I think leading by example
would be a nice starting point.
