DJGPP's author has some funny ideas about spelling and capitalization, including his own name, DJ Delorie (not "D. J." or the like). I guess it's his own personal "no brown M&M's" rule!

If you read his about page, "DJ" is his legal name, as-is, with no spaces. It's not an initialism or abbreviation for something else.

Regardless, it's a little weird to criticize someone for how they spell their name. By definition, their name is spelled how they want it. It's a core component of identity.

Or it's just an artifact of neurodivergence
