Hello.

Though I’m sometimes stumped about how to describing the notation of  
nginx  
in text,  
is there an official notation of nginx?

In detail, I’m sometimes stumped about whether selecting from the  
followings.

- nginx
- Nginx
- NGINX

Preferred variant is “nginx”. Sometimes “NGINX” is used, too. Use  
of “Nginx” is discouraged as Igor thinks it looks ugly.

But, actually, most of us don’t really care.
