Is "Bat Mitzvah" capitalized?

Comment by Lisa Berryhill on February 20, 2013 at 10:49

"Keel" is a part of the boat's hull, I believe.

"On the keel"

I'd use RGIS throughout the transcript.  For the pronunciation question, I'd put:


By "Regis," you mean RGIS; right?

When a witness says three hundred thirty-two five, meaning 332,500, how would you put that in a transcript?  It is a videotape.

Thanks.

A)  332,5

B)  332.5

I would, Janiece.

I know we are not supposed to use the ampersand.

If you have a depo that is medical and they are talking about a history and physical and they say "H&P" would you use the ampersand in that instance?

Adviser is what Merriam-Webster shows.  Most people don't realize that it should be "er" instead of "or."  Personally, I always retain bad spellings and punctuation in quotes from documents so I can be as accurate and true as possible to the document that's being quoted.  But, outside of quotes, I wouldn't defer to them for how to spell regular words because people are notoriously bad spellers.

Which is preferred tax adviser or tax advisor?  I always use adviser, but the exhibits are saying tax advisor.

We've all been there.  :)  Keep truckin'!

Thank you, Marla.  That's what I thought but I'm very tired.
