Does this mean you don't want the link to the very long thread that asked opinions about keeping lens caps tethered to cameras? I could kick myself for even wasting my time reading this🤨

According to the Oxford Dictionary, "The word it’s is always short for ‘it is’ (as in it's raining), or in informal speech, for ‘it has’ (as in it's got six legs)." It's the same as in the rest of the English speaking (and writing) world and it's been that way for a long time.

I was thinking about getting a T-shirt that says "Real Men Shoot RAW" but I wonder how many people on the street will know what it means?
That's being sexist, as you have left out women.
I'm sure real women shoot raw too.

I somewhat vary my use of Raw, RAW, raw, depending on my audience when writing. Since it is a technical term in digital photography I would at least cap the first letter like I would say the Mint Family (of plants), Lamiaceae. I also italicize that as it is Latin and not every day English. Note dog is Canis familiaris. Most photography literature has used RAW as others note and a historical precedent even if inaccurate. For the general public I would not use raw as we mean for digital cameras so as not to confuse raw photography as that found in Hustler Magazine for example. Virtually all words have more than one meaning (especially in different fields of study or knowledge).

back·ro·nym
/ˈbakrəˌnim/
noun
1.
an acronym deliberately formed from a phrase whose initial letters spell out a particular word or words, either to create a memorable name or as a fanciful explanation of a word's origin:
"Biodiversity Serving Our Nation, or BISON (a backronym if ever there was one)"

That's what I remember also. And I saw an older reference that suggested the all-caps was to keep similar style as TIFF and JPEG

Actually
ISO is an acronym: International Standards Organization it replaced ASA (American Standards Association)
Both are simply reflecting the organisation name that creates standards. They are not limited to photography (Just in case)
ISO ### (as a photographic standard - sensitivity to light) today is a bit of a joke but nevermind that.
