I would capitalize FABERE because
Subject: I would capitalize FABERE because

It is found both ways in several different reference books. In the new Stedman's Abbreviation book it's fabere. The old Stedman's Abbreviation book listed it both ways, FABERE and fabere. It is an acronym, however, and the BOS 2nd edition page 7 says, "Capitalize all letters of most acronyms." It then also goes on to say, "When acronyms become words in their own right, they sometimes evolve into lowercase form." Such as the lower-case acronym laser (light amplification by stimulation emission of radiation). Is it possible that fabere has evolved into a word of its own? I don't think so, because if it was a word of its own it wouldn't be in the abbreviation book! So, I would follow the BOS recommendation and capitalize the letters of an acronym. FABERE

Please let me know.  I've done a lot of duplex ultrasounds over the past 5-6 years but I am very "aural" when it comes to dictation - once I see "increment" and have that in my mind, I can't think of anything else.   Anyway, I would like to know what it is in case I run across it.


Thanks!

I've spent too much time on it as it is.  I'm overly tired and grumpy anyway from getting up to pee every hour for the last several nights from my own urinary issues.  The NP said I'd have relief today.  What an a**hole.  I'm in so much pain.  He insists it could not be a kidney stone yet I'm peeing massive amounts of blood and blood clots.  I've had a hyster so I know it's not coming from there.  I don't usually wish things on people but I'm so grumpy from lack of sleep and in so much pain right now, I hope he gets one this bad.  Curses!
