Should be titled CAPEX, shouldn't it? 89.78.39.6 23:24, 22 January 2014 (UTC)Reply

I don't know. I like to write it "CapEx". It's a real nuisance to get the facts for terms that differ only by capitalization, but Google n-Gram may permit it. DCDuring TALK 23:38, 22 January 2014 (UTC)Reply
There are brand names 'CAPEX' that mess up the results at N-Gram. I tried searching for 'capex' & 'depreciation' at Google Books. That treats all the capitalizations the same. Here are the results. I think "capex" is more common than any other form, but you could prove me wring by counting up the instances of each capitalization, excluding occurrences of any of the forms at the beginning of a sentence in as a title (as in a table). A sample of about a hundred should be good enough unless there is "close" (+/- 10%) to a tie. DCDuring TALK 23:53, 22 January 2014 (UTC)Reply
