euro (pl. euros) |
Not capitalised; add an "s" when plural. In most texts, use the ISO symbol EUR after the figure, separated by a non-breaking space e.g. 25 EUR (add lower case "k" for thousands, e.g. 25 kEUR, upper case "M" or "B" for millions of billions e.g. 25 MEUR). In more informal texts such as Bulletin articles, the symbol € can be used instead (before the figure, no space, e.g. €25). Read more |

exclamation marks |
Avoid using them. If the statement is surprising or exciting, it will be clear to the reader without the need for an exclamation mark. In particular, avoid multiple exclamation marks, e.g.: …this year the Wildcats are here and full of determination, as never before!!!! Read more |
punctuation, style |
experiments |
Use capitals for the names of experiments (ATLAS, ALICE, NA62, CLOUD, etc.), except for LHCb, LHCh and n_TOF. AEGIS, AEgIS and AEḡIS are all acceptable spellings used by the collaboration. Because CERN experiments can involve thousands of people working across laboratories and countries, there is considerable overlap between the concept of an experiment, research team or collaboration. IS and AEGIS are all acceptable spellings, although the first is the experiment's official name. Be careful how you use these terms – think how inclusive the term needs to be. Read more |
