Hi everyone,
If you are using hastags with multiple words, please use camel case.
Not #likethisexample
Why?
A) Screen readers will see a bunch of letters that doesn't make one word and read out each individual letter. Which makes it hard to understand.
B) For us sighted people, it is also easier to read.
Thanks you

Wikipedia calls the example as Pascal case or upper camel case.
Your example with initial lower case is a example of lower camel case or dromedary case.
I guess we are both correct and I have learnt something.
Either way is better than all lowercase.
Technically it is camelCase and PascalCase, yeah, but:
- CamelCase is pretty self-evident, where PascalCase relies on obscure programming language trivia to even begin making sense.
- It'll require WAY more explanation to understand the difference between camelCase and PascalCase, and even that there is a difference, than getting the point of CamelCase.
- For this CamelCase is actually preferred to camelCase.
- We're discussing ACCESSIBILITY, not programming conventions and history. And making that distinction is about as inaccessible as it gets. 🥴

Take this for somebody with quite a pedant vein as well: just say/use CamelCase and forget the mess, being "correct" here is of no use.
Or consider camelCase and CamelCase different words, if it helps. 😜
