Seems like they really can't make up their minds!  :)

I googled insurance claims adjuster and insurance claims adjustor, and it comes up as "adjuster," with the definition, and I think I've always used adjuster.

I think I would capitalize it.  It's capped along with the common or street names listed on drugs.com.

I think capitalizing it would be like saying it is a brand name, which it isn't, so I vote no.  :)

Thanks to all of you for your help!  Much appreciated.

Janiece - I see that most of the time it's ecstasy in lowercase.

Comment by Janiece Young on March 14, 2012 at 8:27

Would you capitalize "Ecstasy" when they are referring to the street drug X?

Thanks,

Janiece

"Adjustor" is listed as a variant in M-W. I prefer it to "adjuster," although both are correct.

Comment by Kathy Langstaff on March 12, 2012 at 14:17

They're listed as synonyms on dictionary.com, but I think adjuster is the more common usage.

Comment by LeAnne Law on March 12, 2012 at 13:55

I use adjuster for everything.
