I had a witness who said, "Okay, Hon.  I understand. 

She was talking to the attorney.  Do you capitalize "Hon"?  "Hon" is short for "Honey."

Thanks!

Thanks, LeAnne, me too.

Comment by LeAnne Law on July 15, 2013 at 9:27

I would not capitalize bible in that instance.

From Dictionary.com:  (lowercase) any book, reference work, periodical, etc.,

I'm also going with hazmat since I can't find anything consistent definition-wise and I don't like using all caps in transcripts if I don't have to. 

Comment by LeAnne Law on July 15, 2013 at 9:19

SearchMaster has either do's and don'ts or dos and don'ts. 

Comment by Janiece Young on July 15, 2013 at 8:28

Is this correct for "dos and don'ts"?
