In English, that is. Abbreviations are highly language-specific. In some languages it’s ‘no’ with the ‘o’ put in superscript. At any rate I don’t think degree is used in any language. It’s just abused to fake the superscript ‘o’. Like you noticed that may have unexpected side-effects. > In which case > you wouldn’t have that line-breaking issue (you may still want to use > non-breaking spaces to prevent line breaking between ‘no.’ and ‘16’ > though). > > [2] http://forum.wordreference.com/showthread.php?t=264328 Vincent --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
