The word Unix is often misunderstood to be an anacronym, and therefore
is commonly "misspelled" in all caps. Since it's actually a proper name,
Unix is more correct for the documentation. Groggy's commit probably
should have used "Unix," but when I looked at the diff it was pretty
clear what was going on.
