Just like JDBC is not an acronym, neither is Ajax

And, notice that it's supposed to actually be Ajax for Ajax, and not AJAX.

As for JDBC, many people are surprised to learn that it is a trademarked term that is also "not an acronym" - "The JDBC API is a Java API for accessing virtually any kind of tabular data. (As a point of interest, JDBC is the trademarked name and is not an acronym; nevertheless, JDBC is often thought of as standing for 'Java Database Connectivity')."

Yes all this pedantry is silly, but the "Ajax" vs AJAX thing was news to me, so I thought I would pass it on. (I get the its a "collection of technologies" part, and the "+", but really, AJAX would have been better. Does this mean JDBC should be Jdbc, after all, it's not an acronym?)
