As Alan pointed out,
legally FIRST is the United States Foundation for Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology, or USFIRST. However, because their
brand is built on
FIRST, and because they
prefer to use
FIRST, that is the term we use. That is also the branding they say to use.
It's like the difference between your full legal name and your nickname. You get called by your nickname, despite your legal name being something different. You might not respond when you're called by that legal name, but that is still your name. However, you might not respond to that legal name... possibly because you don't like it.
