Hi, Kim, yes, rest and relaxation.  Thank you.  That's what I thought.

Janiece,
Just to make sure, you're referring to rest and relaxation; right? If that's the case, I would choose choice A...R&R.

I've never had to write it, but that's how I'd do it.

I had a witness say:  "How do."  It was like he was saying, How are you doing but in a shortcut way.  Is that how you spell it when they are saying "How do" with that meaning?

Thanks, Christi.  :)

A.  No need to cap "the."  :)

Comment by Janiece on April 21, 2013 at 7:45

I'm working on my first court transcript.  Would you capitalize "The Court" here?

Which is correct, choice A or B?

Thanks!


A)  THE COURT: You wanted to address the Court?

B)  THE COURT: You wanted to address The Court?
