"YardShip" vs. "Yardship" - correct spelling?
« on: 07 October 2015, 02:05:11 »
Based on the erratum text for the monitor entry in XTRO:Boondoggles, which is the most recent source I'm aware of, I was under the impression that YardShip is commonly spelled with a capital "S" in BattleTech context.

However, an esteemed forum user has informed me that Ben Rome had clarified the correct style to be "yardship" (no capital "S").

Since I cannot find a quotable source for this ruling, please give me an official clarification:

Is there a ruling for the "correct" spelling, and if so, what is it?
