Jimmy,
Not worth getting into a sh!t kicking contest but on the renaming of British Aerospace it became BAe Systems. Where all the upper case came from I know not. Probably some journalists couldn't be arrsed changing from upper to lower case.
airsound,
And continues to point out that the letters of its acronym don't stand for anything.
When briefed by a Director some years ago he made the same statement. It's not an acromyn, it doesn't stand for anything. Lots of bemused folks.
Signed:
Another BAE Systems employee. Not for long though.
