Shouldn't this page be named "X-Com" instead of "X-COM"?--Ethereal Cereal 19:55, 13 October 2006 (PDT)
Technically, X-COM in caps is the correct form. At least, that is how it is shown in the manuals, boxes and liturature. ;)--Zombie
- You know, I think I checked that at one point and confirmed it was 'X-COM', but I've seen it typed so many ways I can't even remember anymore. Even in-game it's spelled "XCom"... but I'll go with X-COM as the official spelling.--Ethereal Cereal 15:43, 14 October 2006 (PDT)
