====Camel case==== {{main|Camel case}} {{blockquote|"theQuickBrownFoxJumpsOverTheLazyDog" or "TheQuickBrownFoxJumpsOverTheLazyDog"}} Spaces and [[punctuation]] are removed and the first letter of each word is capitalised. If this includes the first letter of the first word (CamelCase, "[[PowerPoint]]", "TheQuick...", etc.), the case is sometimes called '''upper camel case''' (or, illustratively, '''CamelCase'''), '''Pascal case''' in reference to the [[Pascal (programming language)|Pascal programming language]]<ref>{{cite web|url=https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/archive/blogs/brada/history-around-pascal-casing-and-camel-casing|title=History around Pascal Casing and Camel Casing|date=3 February 2004 }}</ref> or '''bumpy case'''. When the first letter of the first word is lowercase ("[[iPod]]", "[[eBay]]", "theQuickBrownFox..."), the case is usually known as '''lower camel case''' or '''dromedary case''' (illustratively: '''dromedaryCase'''). This format has become popular in the branding of [[information technology]] products and services, with an initial "i" meaning "[[Internet]]" or "intelligent",{{Citation needed|date=August 2022}} as in [[iPod]], or an initial "e" meaning "electronic", as in [[email]] (electronic mail) or [[e-commerce]] (electronic commerce).
