Searching "goo search engine" on Google, the official page displays "Goo" with a capital G (and not "goo"). There are so many logos written in lower case in this world, see Search Encrypt for example. Why is this name formatted differently on this page? Capitalization in English, in terms of the general orthographic rules, is universally standardized for formal writing. Capital letters are used as the first letter of a sentence, thus we should read Goo after a full stop, and not goo. The only difference is that contrary to most proper names / trademarks / brands usually written with a capital letter, goo has not when the word is found in the middle of the sentence. It is like a cat or a dog. We don't write I like Cats
, we write I like cats
. And we don't write I use Goo
, we should write I use goo
. But apart from this particularity, all standard rules should be respected concerning the format. - 2simple (talk) 13:29, 10 May 2019 (UTC)
We currently say Popcorn of the Kurashiki City of Okayama Prefecture acquired the domain name goo.co.jp in August 1996, with no clarification as to who or what Popcorn is. A company? A person? Are they still around? Also, though it is I'm sure obvious to all the people writing here, it may not be obvious to all the people reading here that the name goo
has no relation to Google. —Soap— 22:39, 11 March 2020 (UTC)
Yes, I have no idea what "popcorn" is in this section. Please explain. PRR (talk) — Preceding undated comment added 23:59, 24 November 2021 (UTC)
