This Editor has generally respected authors' phrasing, whilst shuddering when the term 'incubate' is encountered in a 0° context. He remains a 'diehard' in certain respects, notably in favouring 'M' rather than 'mol/I', and a wt./ml basis for drug concentrations in test samples; he regards 'mmol/l' as a fatuous fashion. Concerning infelicitous abbreviations, a distinction is made between electron capture (detector context; 'ECD') and electrochemical ('EC', never 'ECD'); the hallowed GC term 'FID' means free induction decay to NMR practi tione:ts, who may pardon the term 'Fid' as introduced editorially.
