About style-guide

It's a small question according to the document correction.
According to the style guide, I understood that it should be corrected according to the items below.
Is that right?

1. Pi 3B, Pi 4 -> Raspberry Pi 3B, Raspberry Pi 4
2. the Raspberry Pi 4 -> Raspberry Pi 4
3. Raspberry Pis (no apostrophe) ->Raspberry Pi computers, Raspberry Pi devices (better)

1. Pi 3B, Pi 4 -> Raspberry Pi 3B, Raspberry Pi 4

Unless there's a decent reason — where the difference is important — I wouldn't differentiate between Raspberry Pi 3, Model B, and Raspberry Pi 3, Model A. I'd just refer to them both as "Raspberry Pi 3."

2. the Raspberry Pi 4 -> Raspberry Pi 4

Yup. We hate prepositions here at Raspberry Pi. I don't know why. 🤷‍♂️

3. Raspberry Pis (no apostrophe) ->Raspberry Pi computers, Raspberry Pi devices (better)

I usually use "Raspberry Pi boards" or "Raspberry Pi computers" depending on context. Now we have a microcontroller class device, RP2040, the word "device" can be confusing as it has a specific technical meaning when we're discussing those.

Thank you, in addition to this case, is it necessary to change it?
ex) 3B, 4B, rpi -> Which word would be appropriate?

[aallan]

Really depends on the context.

@aallan
Tnx, I will revise it according to the issue.
