Tea room discussion
Should this page contain some discussion of the capitalized Internet Service Provider vs. the semi-capitalized Internet service provider? __meco 14:43, 6 June 2008 (UTC)


 * The correct expansion would be Internet service provider, or internet service provider. It's not a proper noun, but as with other initialisms, I suppose many of the people who use it capitalize its expansion.


 * The expansion shouldn't use the clunky-looking bold initials. This is not good typesetting practice, and advised against in Wikipedia (w:Wikipedia:Capitalization).


 * The second definition is a proprietary company name, and probably doesn't belong. —Michael Z. 2008-06-08 13:50 z
