Yeah. That's their logo. It has a stylized font, but the name of the company is still "Valve" as in the word "valve" capitalized since it's a proper noun. It's the same stupidity of typing "Doom" as "DooM" just because that's how the logo looks.

It's dumb. You're dumb.

Are you calling me dumb?
The way someone capitalizes a word does not classify them as "Dumb".
Just because you made these forums doesn't mean you have the right to say "oh, your capitalization is wrong; I classify you as dumb".

First of all, Sleeper's going to argue that it actually does. Second, for the record, I wrote Valve the same way until Sleeper (probably) called me dumb for writing it that way, at least you're in moderately good company.

That said can we end the dispute please?

no; GLaDOS isn't stupid since it's an abbreviation for Genetic Lifeform and Disk Operating System. Usually capitals stay unless a term is used on a daily basis, as a normal word; for example laser and there are plenty more examples like this :wink:

Exactly. SCUBA is the other common one.
