SITREP - Stage 4
@bezt oh wow, today I learned, I did not know this, but I have seen Aids written that way so I'ts not totally new I guess. I'm thinking having NASA up on signage, logos etc is why I assume it should always be like that.
@Argie NASA has their own style and design guides, as modified by the whims and dictats of the present management. I think it’s mostly GPO for text. https://www.govinfo.gov/collecti...
The BBC styling is definitely a choice, probably not one I agree with, but at least the Beeb is consistent about it.

“Where you would normally say the abbreviation as a string of letters - an initialism - use all capitals with no full stops or spaces (eg FA, UNHCR, NUT). However, our style is to use lower case with an initial cap for acronyms, where you would normally pronounce the set of letters as a word (eg Aids, Farc, Eta, Nafta, Nasa, Opec, Apec).”
