What does that have to do with it?
If this is supposed to be a “gottem” moment because it appears I’m hating on the British style, please know I didn’t know that until others chimed in (hence my question). And actually, I prefer the British way of writing some acronyms without the dots to the American style, but writing ASCII like it’s a word (Ascii) looks really bad.
ASCII is short for American Standard Code for Information Interchange. And as another commenter already pointed out, only the A for America is capitalized. It was just a joke playing on the way it's written (and the fact that there's the MAGA movement)
It's joking about A, which in ASCII stands for America, being the only letter capitalized.
Ah, gotcha. I knew what it stood for but I’m also an idiot.
