Should it be POI or PoI? Please vote

General Discussion
#1

We have been discussing this issue and need consensus.  Please help us decide.  Pick your favorite. 

#2

PoI leads to misunderstanding because it can be read as "pol" instead of "poi".

There is no rule to use small letters for prepositions, its optional, so POI would not be wrong.

#3

Here are two test cases.

It is common to write prepositions small, but not a rule you have to follow.

Since for us it can lead to misunderstanding I vote to not follow the "rule".

#5

wow…touching the REAL problems now are we :stuck_out_tongue:
Do you really think anyone is going to follow the convention if we decide on one ?

#6

we will on Wikipedia at least

#7

haha :smiley:

Well if we agree on one way and use it strictly in wikipedia articles, newsletters, official annoucnements… more people will follow it.

#8

This is what I think of when I see [url=http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poi_(food)]POI but it's still better than PoL

I'm sure that is good, but it sure doesn't look like it.  Hahaha, maybe whoever has the highest PoI after a year should get a big bowl of that as a bonus. 

#10

I preferentially PoI. It doesn't matter what we call it here. Whether people know what PoI is or not is based on how well nem is known. Which I suspect will be pretty well after we launch.

#11

I'll go with PoI, but don't really care that much about it. I just want real proof of importance to work and become an important step forward for crypto, the rest are details.

PoI …strange that only 3 have registered considering that these voted same as me

Should be at 4 at least

#13

I actually just voted now.  I wasn't sure if it was right to vote in my own poll.  Hahahaha

But I really wanted to see what the count was and the only way is if I voted. 

Now I know.  I am losing.  ;D

I have add my vote. POI is something like "Polka Over India"
and PoI look like real tech stuff. Simple as that.

looks like POI won  8)

#18

i dont think this vote is going to have much effect on what people call it :smiley:

#19

I'm with POI.  It's OK, we'll have to check on what we have published.


I updated the English Wiki to make it consistent.

The purpose of this was to agree on a way to write it for all official announcements. Newsletters, articles, videos, tutorials etc. It looks unprofessional if the community itself is not consistent about the writing of a key feature ;)
