It's true that Micky did not provide any evidence, but you should have instead countered with your own.

Interestingly, however, the argument is valid. In the title cards for "All About D.W." and "D.W. & Bud's Higher Purpose", her name is not spelled with the dots between the letters. This is what Micky meant by "these days".

Yet, this issue is something I will have to dedicate some more time to investigate. I noticed that both of these title cards were uploaded based on a recording from the UK. From what I know of British vs American grammar, the dots are not required in many acronyms in British English. This is also why all of the episode summaries still spell it with the dots: they are American TV stations (or Canadian in a few cases).

To resolve this, we should:


 * 1) Check the CBBC descriptions for the way they spell it.
 * 2) Check the title cards on recordings not from the UK.
 * 3) Check if Canadian English would also spell it that way or not.

Sadly my time on this wiki is not what it use to be and it's running out to say the least, so I'm not able to perform any research into the matter.
