Subject:Lab or Laboratory? From:karen_otto -at- agilent -dot- com To:"TECHWR-L" <techwr-l -at- lists -dot- raycomm -dot- com> Date:Wed, 13 Jun 2001 12:00:53 -0600
We're making a new product that gets a generic name. The current product is
a "Test Application," and is designed for manufacturing personnel.
The new product is designed for R&D lab personnel. It must be called either
"Lab Application" or "Laboratory Application"
What learning impediments do you see with "Lab Application?"
Are there international/translation consequences for using the word "lab"
instead of "laboratory?"
Both titles get shortened to LA and TA, for both customers as well as us.
