[Python-Dev] FileSystemError or FilesystemError?
Hello, When reviewing the PEP 3151 implementation (*), Ezio commented that "FileSystemError" looks a bit strange and that "FilesystemError" would be a better spelling. What is your opinion?

I don't think it really matters since both "file system" and "filesystem" appear to be in common usage. I would say +1 to "FileSystemError" -- i.e. take file system as two words.

I rarely find spell checkers to be useful sources of data on correct spelling of technical jargon (and the computing usage of the term 'filesystem' definitely qualifies as jargon). > (Nor do we write filingsystem, governmentsystem, politicalsystem or > schoolsystem. This is English, not German.) Personally, I think 'filesystem' is a portmanteau in the process of coming into existence (as evidenced by usage like 'FHS' standing for 'Filesystem Hierarchy Standard'). However, the two word form is still useful at times, particularly for disambiguation of acronyms (as evidenced by usage like 'NFS' and 'GFS' for 'Network File System' and 'Google File System'). The Wikipedia article on the topic mixes and matches the two forms, but overall does favour the two word form. Since I tend to use the one word 'filesystem' form myself (ditto for 'filename'), I'm +1 for FilesystemError, but I'm only -0 for FileSystemError (so I expect that will be the option chosen, given other responses).

This pretty much summarizes my thoughts. I saw the wiki article using both and since I consider 'filesystem' a single word I was wondering if anyone else preferred FilesystemError. I'm totally fine with FileSystemError too though, if most people prefer it.

I slightly prefer FilesystemError because it parses unambiguously. Cf.

Re: [Python-Dev] FileSystemError or FilesystemError?
+1 for FileSystemError. I see myself misspelling it as FileSystemError if we go with alternate spelling. I'll probably won't be the only one.
