Topic: Why do people write this as one word?

Catherine !TGirlYJKXM started this discussion 10 years ago #52,031

People tend to write "Roller Coaster" as "Rollercoaster" or "RollerCoaster" which includes myself.

Is this due to the game franchise, "RollerCoaster Tycoon"?

It had that much of an impact on written language?

Because it's pronounced as one word.

Is it really? Because I always saw a space between Roller and Coaster. Even Wikipedia does this.

That is, I believe, the question, in fact, of the century.
