Explain this, then:)

In Response To: Re: Well done, sort of... (Dan Chosich) : I agree. : I noticed this back in the beginning of August and I wondered why some did : this. : If you look at the inside Bungie page, the team Bios - you'll see some spell : it with caps and some just spell it (what I think it normal) : "Halo." I think you are just reading too much into it, sometimes : people find things that they want to find more so than things that are : truly meant to be there(not speaking of you, the whole 7 thing can get : pretty convoluted). : Some don't even put a space between Halo and 2 = HALO2. Ahhh! I understand that I may be looking too much into this. However, if the explanation being used by seemingly everyone is that more than one person wrote the MP map descriptions, which is a plausible explanation, then give an explanation for the description of Chill Out. The writer of the description for Chill Out (“A Covenant research facility on HALO, used to analyze Halo’s material.”) switches between the two forms of the word halo in the same sentence. You guys surely aren't implying that one person wrote the first half of that sentence, and then another person, the same person writing the Human descriptions, picked up where he left off to finish that one sentence. Perhaps this person “accidentally” press the CAPS button, as someone suggested earlier, while writing this one sentence. If this were the case, then the word “accidentally” being spelled in all caps, would “accidentally” be the same word on all the Covenant MP maps (HALO)... an extremely selective “accident,” and highly unlikely. My observation, while picky and elaborate, gives a plausible reasoning behind this wording mystique. I just don’t see this as being a mistake, because it’s so clearly presented throughout the entire MP maps page. In all the cases above, the reader is still left wondering why the writer of the Covenant MP map Chill Out would switch between the two forms of the word halo. It’s not an accident, and it’s not two different people writing that one sentence, correct? The writer is establishing a difference between the two forms of the word halo:) -Metatron P.S. Don't take my statements as me being harsh. I'm merely searching for a plausible explanation that doesn't include perfected mistakes, and tag team writing:)
