Teeny, tiny webpage inaccuracy?

Good day.

On your otherwise flawless and perfect webpage:
http://gcc.gnu.org/

You might consider changing this string:
"Objective C"

To:
"Objective-C"

Objective-C is, and has been, the customary, standard way to write the name of this language since Brad Cox and StepStone Corporation created it in the early 1980s.

<attempted tongue-in-cheek humor>
To my knowledge, no one connected with the field, nor any standards bodies, have suggested changing it. I may be wrong of course. If you have documentation to this effect, please let me know. ;-)

I researched this matter for a few hours, a few years ago, to answer an issue some people raised.

I hope this helps.
Thank you for all of your fine work.
Good luck.
