pick a convention for writing didymus

This will be complete when there is an established and documented convention for writing didymus.

The way I've been writing it so far has simply been all lowercase: 'didymus'. However, I'm not sure what the rule is for writing a proper noun like that when it's the first word of a sentence. Would I still keep it lowercase?

Another suggestion was to use a monospaced font like courier, which I think would 1) look nice 2) help it look more purposeful when it's the first word of a sentence and still lowercase (if we go that route). We could also write it in all caps: DIDYMUS.

Related to this - codes like numpy seem to have standard abbreviations when they are imported (np, in numpy's case) - I was using 'dy' without really thinking about it, but it occurs to me that it looks like dy, as in the change in the y component. It should probably be changed to di, or maybe dd or dm?

Perhaps, on the abbreviation front, ddm ?

'ddm' makes sense and is pretty short.

Closed with ddm as selection.
