Lately, there have been a few forum topics (1, 2, 3) suggesting that “Account settings” in the top-right dropdown of the website should be changed to “Account Settings,” and the Scratch Team has rejected this suggestion many times. In fact, they have stated repeatedly that they will not be doing this, as it is not a problem for most users. However, I claim that there was an oversight — not just by the Scratch Team, but by the Scratchers who supported this suggestion as well. My claim is that we were focused on the wrong S.

I propose that the Scratch Team fix the “Account settings” label and capitalize the second S in “Account settings.” That is, it should look like this:

Account settingS

This would undoubtedly and irrefutably make Scratch look more “professional,” because then it would follow the “pre-determined” Scratch “symmetry rules.” After all, lots of things in Scratch are symmetrical, including the Messages tab, the My Stuff tab, and even the Scratch logo itself. Putting a capital S at the end would “balance out” the capital letters, making the text “symmetrical,” and thereby the website would be more “professional.” Although Scratch is not a mathematical research article, it is not a book title either, and symmetrical images are more “pleasing” to the eyes (not to mention, more “professional”).

Not capitalizing this particular letter is a terrible idea. This is a “major problem” that “everyone” would “support” if they saw this suggestion. You might think that no one cares now, but I know “for sure” that “a majority” of Scratchers would see this as an “issue.” Anyone who thinks this is a bad idea is “wrong.”

If I haven't mentioned this yet, it would make Scratch more “professional.” Also, I'm not sure if I've mentioned yet that not capitalizing this would be a “huge problem.” Also, I should mention that “everyone” would “support” this “suggestion.” Not to mention, this change would take the developers “at most 10 seconds” to implement. Since it is “easy” to implement, that means it “must” be implemented, because “anything” that can be implemented “quickly” is “automatically” a “good” suggestion worth adding.

Ah ha, I already see you saying “But @Za-Chary, this suggestion is pointless. Capitalizing the letter would not affect the moderation, the safety, or anything on the website.” Well, to that, I present a counterargument: something that you have unfortunately failed to consider. Indeed… NOT capitalizing the letter would not affect the moderation, the safety, or anything on the website. So, as you can see, my “reasoning” is “flawless,” and so therefore it is “irrefutable.” I am “right,” and you are “wrong,” because there is only “one way” that these things can work.

One last thing: if the “Scratch Team” rejects this “suggestion,” then they are “unreasonable,” because again, I am “right,” and they are “wrong.” I “know” what is “best” for the Scratch website.

this is a duplicate

Didn't Read The WHole Thing But Support bedause Capital = Better

Finally a real suggestion support has it cool

No, we should lowercase the A

support i want thing look stupid cause me want post sound stupid

Bruh



No support, if scratch is a maths paper, when do you see the last letter capitalised? So it should be the front S

I sUpPoRT tHis BeCaUsE WHy NOt

That'd be a good addition to the suggestion. I like the aesthetic appeal of “account settingS”

What an excellent idea! I also want to propose capitalizing the E in “Profile”, the F in “My Stuff”, and the T in “Sign out”. It always helps to keep consistent patterns; Terry loves those. 4500 Rentzes for you.

Unrelated but I find it funny that the Scratch community has collectively spent several hours arguing over the merits of a change that would literally take 5 seconds to make (plus the few minutes it would take to push out the new version of scratch-www to production), but is also pretty much completely inconsequential either way.

That doesn't sound very unrelated to me.

Hey, that's like how I'd keep on typing words when I was 6 because I didn't know what the Shift key is
I like it. Gives nostalgic vibes

no support. i dont like capital letters. either leave it as it is or change it to “account settings” with only lowwercase letters

Better idea: Both

Account SettingS

Better yet, all repeating letters!

ACCouNT SeTTiNgS

Let's just lowercase that A:

aCCouNT SeTTiNgS

WOW, THIS IS THE bEST cApITALIzATIOn ruLE EvEr!
