Graph? Yes, I do understand what Deborah means because I was in on all the conversations but most readers and users of DCRM weren’t. The usual usage of the word “graph” means a diagram. I’m fairly well educated, but I’ve never heard the word “graph” used in the sense it’s used here outside the context of DCRM discussions; so if I were coming to this text without all this background I’d say “graph?

Yes, follow the pattern of use: if <b>J</b> needs to be converted to lowercase, the pattern of use happens to always be <b>J</b> > <b>j</b> so it’s very easy to determine. But it’s also true that patterns of use show <b>A</b> > <b>a</b>, <b>B</b> > <b>b</b>, and so on.
