#65 Spelling of COBOL compilers
I'd say this is a low-priority issue but wanted to raise it nonetheless. These are the correct spellings
- COBOL is COBOL, you are of course free to have "the product" named "Koopa Cobol Parser" instead of "Koopa COBOL Parser" even if the later keeps the acronym (I assume that neither "Koopa" nor "Parser" are acronyms, are they?)
- IBM COBOL (IBM COBOL for AIX / IBM Enterprise COBOL)
- Micro Focus COBOL
- ACUCOBOL-GT (BTW: the GT stands for Graphical Technology, just in case you wonder like I did)
- GnuCOBOL (formerly OpenCOBOL - it is fine to have only "GnuCOBOL" in ;-)
It should really just be "Koopa Parser Generator" now, as you can use it for plenty of languages. But the main focus is still COBOL, so I feel it should be in the title. If only so people can find it more easily.
"Koopa" is just a really bad acronym. It went something like "COBOL Parser" to "CO Pa" to "Koopa"... Yeah... I know :-)
I'll fix the spelling as I find it. If someone wants to make a pass and fix it all in one go, I'm happy to accept patches.
