Hmm, I know what you mean. :-) In Hebrew, the way to annotate acronyms is
with a double-quote: MO"C. But it looks very weird in English. And while
we're comparing notes, in hebrew My Own Creation = ha-yetzira sheli, ye"sh,
hehe, that is terrible (it means "exist"). I would never use it.
To answer the original question, English acronyms tend to be in captial so I
would go with MOC, rather than Moc. because it's not an abbreviation, it's
an acronym (like SCUBA - although that is so accepted by now, it's rarely
capitalized).

| Hiya Shiri :) I figure i'll stick with MOC, because yes it is a acronym and the person I'm writing (a real hand written letter!) to actually knows what it means. -- Nicole~ (URL) Dori" <shirid@hotmail.com> wrote in message (...) (23 years ago, 27-Feb-02, to lugnet.general)
