:: I think multiple formats can coexist, each one used when most appropriate. For example, I generally prefer "19edo", but "n-edo" is clearer than "nedo", as you've brought up. I don't see the problem with using a hyphen in some cases and not others. I think "<span><math>n</math></span>edo" is a bit visually jarring, and not as clear as using the hyphen. | :: I think multiple formats can coexist, each one used when most appropriate.

:: Beyond article titles, I don't think there's a particular need for standardization of formats, as long as it's clear. Different writers have different preferences, and may write things differently in different contexts. I'll also add that lowercasing "edo" or "mos" doesn't inherently erase their meanings as acronyms.

::: Yeah, "19th" and "''i''-th" co-exist perfectly and this style is very common in math textbooks. [[User:FloraC|FloraC]] ([[User talk:FloraC|talk]]) 16:33, 18 July 2021 (UTC) | |||
:: On readability (I realized this when I tried unifying the style in the page ''Prime EDO''): if you read a larger text block, you'll notice how the capital style break the flow of text and results in worse readability. You know why small capitals are common in novels? It's to avoid capital letters so as to ease reading. [[User:FloraC|FloraC]] ([[User talk:FloraC|talk]]) 16:33, 18 July 2021 (UTC) | |||
