    The 2000s, haha. Actually, now that I recall, @evidences@lemmy.world, it's AWESOME "COOL."

    Yeah, there are several repositories that seek to replicate it, but at least last time I looked they're not particularly searchable. Another lemming did demonstrate that you can download the data and grep through it but I haven't been motivated to do so yet.

    The funny part is that upon reading your question, I figured surely the Wikipedia page would have that information. Then I saw that it said in the first few words:

    And then most style guides (and human beings) will just change it back. Like they already do with "Game Freak" and others. 🤷‍♂️
