definitely up for grabs, still.

often wrong, I just try and remember to get it right next time!

I often get lazy by typing incorrect designations, Mig instead of MiG and Fw-190, instead of FW-190, etc.
Capitalisation is something that's often regarded as unimportant today my many, and it's another area where generally it probably doesn't matter (certainly it'd be daft to get too fussy when on the internet) but sometimes it does and sometimes it can be
really important. (There are people in responsible jobs today who don't know
how to use capitals or write properly. Does it matter? If they want to have credibility and to communicate clearly, it does. And sometime in the future people won't even see the difference between MiG and Mig.)
Somewhere in the middle of all that important-or-not stuff is the example that the company chose to have a capital 'W' to differentiate them: a FW 190 is a modern Flug Werke Machine, while Fw 190 is the W.W.II beastie built by Focke Wulf. (Oh, and I meant to add last time that 'MIG' is a type of welding technique, rather than an aircraft manufacturer. Important? Who knows?
