Kathi:

I guess I'm hitting the dimwall at the end of the
day, but could you send an example of what you
mean?

Subject: Parenthesis placement


I'm usually a lurker to this list, although
sometimes I add my thoughts to
a thread, or respond to a question that I know off
the top of my head.
Today I find myself in need of assistance. I
realize this may be a stupid
question but...

When you need to display an acronym for a series
of words, after the first
occurrence of the word, should there be a space
before the opening
parenthesis? Is there a rule for this somewhere?
Or is it just a matter of
style?

Thanks in advance for your help.
You can respond off-line so as not to clutter the
list.
