"Oral" Blunder
I was sitting in the dentist's office this afternoon waiting for him to come in and do what he does best when I noticed a box sitting on the counter that was labeled (by hand) "Mental Impression Trays" I had no idea that we could put "Mental Impressions" in a tray!! Or that "Mental Impressions " came from trays. Wow! But I do know that we can use metal trays to get impressions.

Point taken..my apologies ..it is all in good humor. See, I really do learn something new every day! FYI... To tell the truth, I had no idea about the majuscule rule. I have always seen the people I grew up with use it when writing to a person that is respected ie..police,teacher, etc.. I wonder why that is? And if it is a cultural/regional thing. I grew up with a Chicano generation. I wonder if that has anything to do with it? I knew no other way until today. Hmm..

The way I learned it, it's capitalized in direct address.

www.rae.es Diccionario Panhispánico de Dudas4.30. En textos religiosos, suelen escribirse con mayúscula, en señal de respeto, los pronombres personales Tú, Ti, Sí, Vos, Él, Ella, referidos a Dios o a la Virgen.
b) En general, las abreviaturas se escriben con mayúscula o minúscula según corresponda a la palabra o expresión abreviadas; así, se escriben con inicial mayúscula las abreviaturas de aquellos nombres o expresiones que se escriben de este mismo modo cuando se desarrollan: Bs. As. por Buenos Aires, FF. AA. por Fuerzas Armadas, mientras que las abreviaturas de nombres comunes se escriben normalmente con minúscula (salvo si van después de punto o al principio de un enunciado): pág. por página, c. e. por correo electrónico. No obstante, existen numerosas excepciones, y así, siempre se escriben con inicial mayúscula las abreviaturas de fórmulas de tratamiento, incluso las que se escriben con minúscula cuando se desarrollan: S. S. por Su Santidad, S. A. R. por Su Alteza Real, Excmo. por Excelentísimo, Ud. por usted, Sr. por señor, D. por don; también, por tradición, se escriben con mayúscula las abreviaturas de algunos nombres comunes: P. V. P. por precio de venta al público, D. L. por depósito legal. Existen asimismo usos dobles, como P. O. y p. o. (por orden) o Q. D. G. y q. D. g. (que Dios guarde).
