   Every hashtag on every post on every platform should ALWAYS be pascal case (a.k.a. camel case). I made this to illustrate how screenreaders read hashtags depending on whether they are lowercase or camel 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.

     @markwyner Good article. Can you please correct the spelling of kebab throughout the article? And the generalized claim that screenreaders read out underscores is wrong. VoiceOver (on iOS) definitely doesn’t in its default setting and I think the others I tried (NVDA, JAWS) didn’t, either (I can check later when I’m on Windows).

     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:
