| `DRep` | Note the capitalization: Delegated Representative. `DRep` as an abbreviation for Delegated Representative follows standard practices for abbreviations in English: taking the first letter of each word. This makes it intuitive and clear in most contexts. It is also in line with the `DApp` abbreviation. In crypto, the lowercase “d“ is often used to signify “decentralized,” as in dApp (decentralized application) or dGov (decentralized governance). Using “dRep” might imply “decentralized representative”.|

| `the Foundation` | Interchangeable with `the Cardano Foundation`, the is not capitalized, but Foundation should be. |

| `Mainnet` | One word. Capitalise when it's a noun (the _Mainnet_) but not when it's an adjective (_mainnet_ functionality), qualified by another proper name (the Cardano _mainnet_), or used as a symbol (e.g. enable Marlowe on `mainnet`). |
