- Gather round, children, I need some help.
-
- I'm writing a document specifying the design
- and architecture rules for all new applications
- at Citicorp (and me, a boy from the suburbs - imagine!)
- and I'm having a problem with capitalization.
-
- I refer to certain documents - the Business Requirements
- Specification is one of them - by one of:
- the name: The Business Requirements Specification
- the initials: The BRS
- the short name: The specification
-
- It's the last one that has me stumped. There are no
- other specifications (so no ambiguity) but it somehow
- doesn't seem right to have the short name as lower case.
-
- The same problem exists for Service Subsystem - "the
- subsystem" or "the Subsystem"? Business Model - "the
- model" or "the Model"?
-
- The closest example I can find is "Take 12th Street -
- the street after 11th" which makes me think I'm doing
- the right thing.
-
- Any suggestions? As usual, thanks in advance.
