I know. But Eddie was asking SJG for the official abbreviation for Bio-Tech.

Not as often as it could be, I suppose... perhaps a bit of social commentary ;)

In GCA I went with "Bio" rather than BIO or BT. The reason why capitalization is important here is because IO can look very much like 10 in some fonts, so BIO5 might be confused with B105.

GURPS Abbreviations are traditionally written all-uppercase. In fact, 4e seems to enforce it. ;)

Besides, I'm against GCA. I'm for GCB.

GURPS Abbreviations are traditionally confusing, too. Some traditions are meant to be forgotten.

Bio looks better than BIO.
Besides, you already have LoT on the list.

BTW, EP for Energy Pool/Points and ER for Energy Reserve.
