The Capital T is indeed a Tablespoon designation while the lower case t is for teaspoon. Meal Master, an old DOS program, had a switch where it would convert this to tb and ts, specifically for blind users of the program. I use these designations as my plans are to put everything into Meal Master at some point, as it is a good neutral format that is accepted by most recipe programs. This is also the only case I've found where a programmer of recipe programs took blind users into consideration, and if the program wasn't freeware now released to the wild I'd be supportive of further developments, especially a Windows version. When I post recipes I try to remember to put a legend at the bottom so folks know what the abbreviations mean. I have this as a separate file on my computer, so it's easy for me to open it, select all, copy, and then paste it into the email.

And as for a Teaspoon it is a small tsp. I may be wrong.
