Through axles vs QR

[The French Tandem]

Not to mention that writing it as "thru axle" has become popular, for no discernible reason. Despite being an abomination toward the English language, I've taken to spelling it that way for consistency with how the manufacturers of my frame, fork and both hubs spell it.

That's Usanian practices vs proper English. I often find myself writing half Usanian, which I learned at school when I was young, and half English. I probably better live in the middle of the Atlantic ocean.

Some people write it as T-axle or taxle and I've also seen maxle, which I think might strictly refer to the large 15mm size.

Despite being an abomination toward the English language

The English language is a constant abomination of the English language or, as the French would say, abomination.
