it is prothrombin time, to separate....sm
Posted By: I don't agree - it does not make sense if on 2006-03-14
In Reply to: actually I think it makes perfect sense to use it as - 2 words even without BOS direction NM
Subject: it is prothrombin time, to separate....sm
When it is really prothrombin time, it makes NO sense to type pro time as 2 words....I really don't care what BOS says about this one particular issue. The word really is prothrombin time and MDs say protime....I give them protime. Just my take on it.

No they are three separate views.
Subject: No they are three separate views.
No they are 3 separate views.
It is the sentence structure that is confusing. Three individual views, but once the word views gets put into the sentence it becomes plural and without the word views it is regarded as singular. I don't necessarily agree, but I believe this is why the QA department and your manager keep changing your grammar.
