every company QA and/or account will set that rule.

You probably should ask them via email to get it in writing as it has been my experience this will vary from one QA gal to the next.

This may not be the one-word answer you're looking for, but it is the Reader's Digest version ... literally. See the headings in the right-hand column, including niacin and other possibilities.

Although this regards prostate cancer (not applicable to a female patient) I think this is the info you're looking for. Quote: Once the host recognizes the antigenic material implanted, it is hoped that the circulating humoral immunologic cells would then attack the host's recurrent Prostate Cancer cells. This technique has been successful in other types of tumors. Our site is one of a front line of sites to study the Vaccine in the treatment of Prostate Cancer.

and google is NOT the authority on when to use which word. You can find errors all over the internet and I don't consider google a research tool unless it takes me to a manufacturer web site so I can find a copyrighted spelling.

A good dictionary and solid reference materials are needed. Additionally, the OP did not say the client wanted it one way or another so your bringing that into the equation makes you look as though you are trying to justify what you do, and I really do not care what you do. You are only trying to deflect the direction of the discussion to one in which you _win_ and you try to make me _lose_. The people here who lose are the ones who still don't know the CORRECT usage of the 2 words.

I stand my ground. The OP still does not know definitively how to use these 2 words based on this thread. And you can huff and puff and try to blow my house down but you still don't _win_.
