Update: moved this to my new writing site so there’s a new URL.

Every hashtag on every post on every platform should ALWAYS be pascal case. I wrote this to illustrate how screenreaders read hashtags based on their case.

It’s a small thing that all of us can do to build a more inclusive, accessible internet for all. Please take the time to use pascal case.

I love the camel case vs pascal case debate. Some argue if the first letter is capitalized, it’s pascal case. Others argue that they’re interchangeable. Others argue that the full/formal name “upper camel case” be used when the first letter is capitalized.

In my opinion, camel case is a colloquialism for pascal case, being more familiar to most folks.

More on this ambiguity and why simply saying “camel case” is most likely understood to mirror pascal case:

Alright, people. Y’all win. I have updated my original post to reference the formal term “pascal case” with an “a.k.a. camel case.”

What a lively debate. And friendly. I like you people. No one yelled at me or called me names.
