stage II sleep - anon


Posted: Dec 04, 2009

Is it stage II sleep or stage 2 sleep?

sleep - mt

[ In Reply To ..]
stage 2

I use regular numerals etc. instead of Romans - so they do not look like lower case Ls

[ In Reply To ..]
1, 2, 3, etc.

I do this with all "stage" "type" "class" things: diabetes, cancer, sprain...

I have never had anyone complain or instruct me to do it another way. It means the same thing, and whether or not it is "proper" does not seem to matter to the most dictators.

I went even as far and complex to hold down the shift key for brackets. I don't know why I did that when I didn't even need them. I'm s ...
