Check a TT SF CB DD CC....I wish they would just drop the abbreviations. All the "e" letters come across sounding alike as do the S's and F's. Then there are the B's and V's. There are about 35 abbreviations for CT,the most common of which is computerized tomography, but the list goes on and on. Cobra toxin is a good one!

Is one form correct over another when abbreviating the measurement 'microgram?' I know I've seen it abbreviated as mcg, but in my chemistry background, we always used the symbol that looks like a funny letter 'u.' I can type that symbol in Word, but I'm not sure if it's necessary or preferred. This is the first time I've had the term 'microgram' dictated.
Side note, do you use upper or lower case 'L' to represent a liter? I've seen both used.
