It’s LabVIEW, Stupid!

LVSepiaIn my day, we knew that LabVIEW was an acronym, so we spelled it with capital VIEW as God intended! We knew it because we were there when it was being made. Sure, the first versions of LabVIEW were icons chiseled on stone tablets, but we liked it that way!
And there is one thing for sure we knew: the VIEW in LabVIEW is an acronym, so it needs to be capitalized.

It is not Labview, LabView, or LABVIEW.  It’s LabVIEW!

Maybe we could never remember what the acronym stood for but we knew it was one.

Violent Inhuman Enormous Wildebeest
Vital Inheritance Expense Withholding
Virtually Idiot-proof Enhanced Whatchamagig

It doesn’t matter. It’s an acronym. Now you know. So spell it right!
