=== Studly caps === {{blockquote|"tHeqUicKBrOWnFoXJUmpsoVeRThElAzydOG"}} Studly caps are an arbitrary mixing of the cases with no [[Semantics|semantic]] or [[Syntax|syntactic]] significance to the use of the capitals. Sometimes only [[vowel]]s are upper case, at other times upper and lower case are alternated, but often it is simply random. The name comes from the sarcastic or ironic implication that it was used in an attempt by the writer to convey their own [[coolness]] ([[wikt:studly|studliness]]).{{citation needed|date=February 2023}} It is also used to mock the violation of standard English case conventions by marketers in the naming of computer software packages, even when there is no technical requirement to do so{{snd}}e.g., [[Sun Microsystems]]' naming of a windowing system [[NeWS]]. Illustrative naming of the style is, naturally, random: ''stUdlY cAps'', ''StUdLy CaPs'', etc..
