Missingno., MissingNO., or MissingNo.?

I have always wondered which is the politically correct spelling. Is it Missingno., MissingNO., or MissingNo.? I have always used "MissingNo.".

I say Missingno. Don't ask me why.

Me, too.  Capitalizing the N or the NO just doesn't look right.

Since it’s all caps in the game, how it should be capitalized is pretty much unknowable. I suppose we could call it Missing Number all the time?

This is as pointless a debate as thin crust vs. deep dish: it's a matter of preference, and no one side will ever win.

I prefer eating deep dish pizza with MissingNo.

I looked at Nintendo's site for an answer, but they use both MissingNo. and MissingNO.. Other sources I've looked at suggest that both "no" and "No" are acceptable abbreviations of "number".

I've always called Missing Number, MissingNo. Short for Missing Number, as it has no number. All though I do call MissingNo. Ketsuban , Japanese for MissingNo./Missing Number.

MissingNo. makes more sense.

MissingNo. makes more sense.

True.
Considering my display name is like MisssingNO., it's likely I would think that is the correct way to spell it.

..and on that page they reveal that they know nothing of fixing scrambled graphics (just look at the stats of a normal pokemon, if you don't know).

Battling does repair the HoF, but in my Red, (my old one before I had to get it replaced), I saw a glitch that was black and red.
