That's... technically not a fix.
The correct term has been Head-Up Display for decades, not a Heads Up Display.
That's more a recent variation and primarily aimed towards what should be called on-screen display is games, rather than what you'll find in aircraft.

So it's only PROGRAMN to PROGRAM that should be changed.

Glad you're taking it as constructive. =)
There's a whole lot of what are technically errors around in popular media, but if you have a look at websites such as BAE Systems, Thales, Collins Aerospace, Boeing, etc, companies that actually make them for aviation purposes, it'll always be "Head-Up Display" on their product pages.
Just so I'm not blowing smoke.

It was very literally about just having a pilots "Head-up" out of the cockpit.

"Heads-Up Display" seemed to get more popularised around the 2000's, especially from first person shooters in the actual sense of the "Heads up!" type warning with things like grenade warning indicators in Call of Duty, and slipped into popular usage that way. That and it probably just rolls more naturally off the tongue.

Yeah, I've definitely heard "heads-up display" for about as long as I can remember. Thanks for the info, I've uploaded a correct version.
