This is confusing:  The official U.S. name for Set number 6198 is "Sting • Ray
Stormer" -- two words "Sting Ray" -- yet the theme's graphic logo shows
"STINGRAYS" (one word).

But logos don't supposedly hold much weight (I'm told) in terms of official
capitalization or word splitting, and it's interesting to note that the • text
on the 6198 box says:

"The Sting Rays lurk in the dark shadowy depths...[snip]...LEGO(R) • SYSTEM(tm)
  Sting Ray Collection...[snip]..."

Has anyone seen other instances of Sting Rays being spelled that way -- as • two
separate words?  For that matter, how about RoboForce (Robo Force?) and
ThrowBots (Throw Bots)?  And is UFO really U.F.O. (with periods)?

Any concrete data (from official sources such as box or catalog text)
appreciated...

I vote for Stingrays  as one word when applied to the Lego set theme

Similar for UFO when applied to the Lego set theme

Cannot speak officially, but these would be my preference.
