LeAnne,

I think I'm going with lower case on "hazmat."  What have you decided?

Comment by Janiece Young on July 15, 2013 at 8:23

In this instance would you capitalize the word "Bible"?


A. That's the Bible for the fire investigator.

Everything I've seen for TRICARE is capped. 

Comment by LeAnne Law on July 12, 2013 at 17:55

SearchMaster has it HAZMAT, but I've seen it Hazmat and hazmat.  I've got it in the transcript I'm working on now.  I haven't decided how/if I'm going to capitalize it.

Thank you, Marge.  That is exactly the kind of answer for which I was looking!

Comment by Audrey C. Eaton on July 12, 2013 at 13:54

I think I am right on this, but I'd like some other opinions.  Is there an apostrophe here:  I see you had several years of tax returns.  Why/why not?

Comment by Janiece Young on July 12, 2013 at 12:59

HazMat, do you cap this?  I have seen it all in capital letters and lower case.  I think it is a combination of the words hazardous and materials.

Thanks,

Janiece

I'm working on a transcript where they are speaking about TRICARE Insurance.  When I looked it up on the internet, they have it TRICARE (all caps) with the trademark R with a circle around it.  Shoule I do it that way with the trademark beside it?????

decision making vs. decision-making

Hyphenate or no? It's a noun. Looks weird not to hyphenate since it's a compount noun . . . or whatever it's grammatically called. :/

Thanks, Karen.
