Casual Rumblings: Cold Fusion <-- really?

Cold Fusion <-- really?

Anyone else find it gratingly annoying when they see people refer to CF as 2 words?
I see job postings with 'coldfusion' and 'cold fusion'. I've learned to look for jobs on CL and other job sites in this manner.

Argh!!

Used to be two words... way back in the day.

I do!
I'm embarrassed to say that I actually corrected someone on twitter the other day.
Jeff Foxworthy: "IF YOU EVER FIND YOURSELF CORRECTING SOMEONE ON HOW TO SPELL COLDFUSION, you might be a redneck".

Here's what wikipedia says about ColdFusion:
1998-Nov : Allaire ColdFusion version 4.0 (space eliminated between Cold and Fusion to make it ColdFusion)

I wasn't correcting Jeff Foxworthy :-/

I was just riffing that part.

It's so annoying. Yeah, was two words, but that was 6 versions ago. Hard to believe recruiters have "Cold Fusion" stuck in their minds still from back then, rather than just not knowing any better.

I agree. I take as someone who's not really committed to the language...maybe they've just heard of it in passing or know it's some kind of web language, but that's it. People need to do more research!

Ugh, it really rubs me the wrong way when I see ColdFusion spelled with two words. I always wonder if the person knows much of anything about the product. I mean, have they EVER visited Adobe's CF product page? Have they ever been to ANY CF community sites. Maybe I'm just asking too much.

ColdFusion spelled as two words was "Cold Fusion 3." People need to seriously catch up to like, uh, 1999.
