>First, it's Lisp not LISP. Using "LISP" immediately flags you as someone with a superficial (if at all there) understanding of the language.

Actually both versions are valid.

You seem to not know historical information about Lisp/LISP. While Common Lisp is spelled "Lisp" and more modern use is Lisp, historically LISP has been prevalent (and tons of Lisp dialects prefer the capitalized version, e.g. like "fooLISP" or "barLISP").

Second, you are concerned with superficial details people don't and should not care about. We're programmers, we care about the code and what you can do with it, not about whether some language is "properly" spelled in caps of mixed case.

Third, you are rude, which is worse than both of the above.

"historically LISP has been prevalent"

I learned about it from old books, often on AI, I could scrounge up when I didn't have the Internet or a computer. LISP as in LISt Processor. An acronym. Due to broken memory, I sometimes forget which term to use on stuff that's faded away. I end up about randomly using LISP or Lisp unless its Common Lisp where I usually see "Lisp" in write-ups.

So, good guess.
