Summary

This PR removes the UserName over Username example from the compound words table.

Reason for Change

Both identifiers are valid in their own way:

  • UserName refers to the name of a user (e.g. Hazel).
  • Username refers to a pseudonym used to identify a user (e.g. tacosontitan)

Including these in the compound words table with a focus on preferring UserName is misleading to the semantic differences between them.
