When I write the word tris in my methods, my superviosr corrects it to Tris. But
why should Tris be given a capital letter in the middle of a sentence? A web
search reveals that many scientists spell it with a capital T and many don't. Im
interested in knowing who is right as I like to have good spelling and grammar!
Thanks!
