Standards for writing Conchs-- capitalization, quotation marks, etc
editI think Conch should be capitalized and written without quotation marks. Okie, Aussie, Tar Heel, and other informal demonyms across Wikipedia follow this standard. Conch is a widely used term referring to the historic Bahamian immigrants and the people of Key West today. In its common usage, it is capitalized and written without quotation marks.

- Per Wikipedia:Manual of Style#Words as words, where Conch is being discussed as a word, it should either be in italics or quoted, with italics generally preferred. Where Conch is referring to people, it should be capitalized and neither in italics nor quoted. When I started this article 15 years ago, I was not yet clear on that rule, and used italics and quotes inconsistently when discussing the term Conch. There have been changes in the article to the punctuation used with the term since then, but the usage remains inconsistent. I will make some changes in line with my understanding of the MOS section. - Donald Albury 18:16, 7 December 2021 (UTC)
