Talk:Propulsion in the Re-imagined Series/Archive 1

This article comprises the bulk of the original FTL article and elements from a past larger article version of Science in the Re-imagined Series, broken out for later expansion and page size considerations. --Spencerian 08:14, 11 October 2006 (CDT)

capitalization of "jump"

Why is the word "jump" capitalized so often? Both as noun and verb. I could barely understand capitalizing the noun, and even then it's not a proper noun. But writing "Jump" as verb doesn't make any sense whatsoever. It boggles my mind and just looks silly. Maybe it's just me and I'm overreacting (because I find it annoying), but I correct it wherever I see it.
The only reason I can think of is one or two references in the BSG Season 1 Companion where it is written with a capital letter. But I consider that a typo and not some kind of official standard. --Serenity 16:06, 30 October 2006 (CST)

I am inclined to agree with you, and I also normally correct, erm change, it when I see it. --CalculatinAvatar^(C-T) 17:16, 30 October 2006 (CST)

I have tended to capitalize it in the psat, but now if I do, it's only as part of the phrase, "FTL Jump." However, it may be a point of emphasis that is not necessary, although the term may not be easily distinctive without proper context when describing the event (A lot of people have taken up my "bad" habits.) --Spencerian 17:44, 30 October 2006 (CST)
