Ah, so is this about which spellings of Pd are the most orthodox?
There's a reason why I spread the spelling "PureData" all over the place. The double uppercase makes it readable as two words, but the lack of space makes it look like one distinctive word and not like a common adjective followed by a very common name.
Names are not something you can argue about or that you can "improve". Pd's author called it "Pure Data" and "Pd", so in a scientific paper I would always use these two names/spellings and I'd consider everything else a research negligence by the paper's author. In casual communication like here of course there is more freedom possible.
