[OSC_dev] The Actual Naming of OSC

[Andy W. Schmeder]

The short answer is, use "Open Sound Control".

The other form one may encounter is "OpenSound Control", but we don't  
use that anymore.  Any additional forms you may encounter are  
probably unintentional.  Matt Wright explained the historical details  
to me once, which I would quote for you here, but I can't seem to  
find that email right now.

Some well-meaning individual assumed that the latter is the preferred  
convention and renamed the Wikipedia page to "OpenSound Control" and  
put a redirect in for the other form.    If anyone knows how to  
switch this back, please do -- last time I looked into it, it  
appeared to be a somewhat complex process (not just like editing a  
page).
