Java Swings, you say? Are you crazy?

  

Never call Swing as Swings. Remember that Java Swing is a Proper noun, and should never be called as Java Swings

Almost half of the Resumes I get to interview on Swing, write: “Swings” , instead of “Swing”. They don’t seem to do the same mistake with other technologies for eg., I never see the Following

Javas
Phythons
Flashes
or
Rubys

   Iam not sure why people do that. I guess it has to do something with the name, somehow “Swings” doesn’t look as awkward as “Javas”. Do you know of any other technology where such a common mistake is done in spelling it’s name?

    :-), Sometimes even I misspel Swings. Not sure how many other technologies have the same problem.

    Even I’ve seen this mistake happening very often in a lot of resumes… Either people want to say that java rocks or they think it is Swings!!

    Are you sure it’s not Secure Swing? Like Secure HTTP? Might be big in some defense contractor circles (then again, maybe not).

    Swings == Secure Swing? If it is true Swing components should be yellow like the URL address in browser :)
