ArchiCAD or Archicad?

It used to be ArchiCAD but the latest pages on the Graphisoft page consequently spell it Archicad.

I like to quote correctly, but if even Graphisoft changes...

(Well, at least it's not as stupid as Kinetix 3D Studio evolving in Discreet 3D Studio MAX, into Discreet 3ds max into Autodesk 3ds max into... ?).

As long as you are into that subject, why not call it ArchiBim? (sounds a bit like an architect bimbo...).

And is this official?
The whole website is still overwhelmed with the "ArchiCAD" name...
I see no reason to do that, though... or is to appear less like AutoCAD, MiniCAD, VersaCAD, IntelliCAD, TurboCAD etc...

Actually it's ARCHICAD 10 if you use the correct CI (BIG, eh?).

I don't know why it is not written this way on graphisoft.com but here in good ol' Germany it is www.graphisoft.de. We Germans know how to be accurate ...

I think that the left hand does not know what the right hand is doing. Certain departments in GS have fresh AC 10 documents flowing with "ArchiCAD" everywhere, but elsewhere we hear/see the new spelling. A mystery.
