Actually, while you're at it, do you know where these shorthand notations came from??? The whole c with a bar on top of it, s with a bar on top of it, etc.

the words originated in latin...
c = cum -- with
s = sine -- without

don't know how we ended up using cbar or sbar...
i do know once you start doing it, you never stop.

I already answered you in the osteo forum. BTW, when you post multiple identical threads it gets confusing and a mod will usually close one of them.
