It’s "Mac OS", not "macOS", or even "MacOS" (which is the title on the actual page).

That said, this is some serious wizardry. I wish I had one of these to play with.

      That’s anachronistic. For example you’d say macOS Tahoe but Mac OS X Leopard and Mac OS 9.1.

        While we are on the subject it is also worth pointing out additionally:

        When saying Mac OS X, it’s pronounced Mac OS ten, not Mac OS ex.

          "Mac? Oh, Sex!" is how everyone pronounces it. Very few people "properly" say Mac Oh Ess Ten.

            No, that's what perverts do with the Darwin native executable format.

        And going back a little further, I believe it was "System 7.5.5" etc. until Mac OS 8.5 or so?

          I think Mac OS 7.6 was the first to have the branding

            the "two face" logo.. the reference was, the logo could be a single face, or a face in the distance with a second as profile in front. IIR

    The HN story autoformatter changes titlecase on well known terms, which I'm betting is what happened here.

      Yeah, I assumed as well.

      Yeah, but then you have about 5 minutes time to change it to whatever what you want.
