Spanish term or phrase: pH o PH?
Tengo una pregunta. Yo se que la forma correcta de escribir esto es pH (medida acidica) dentro de un escrito. Pero cuando pH es al comienzo del enunciado, es correcto escribir PH? PH seria la forma incorrecta de escribirlo. No puedo usar articulo en esto. Algun erudito en la materia?

Gracias Jose Luis. Senti mucho lo que se dice en ingles "peer presure", te hubiera dado los puntos por ser el que contesto mas rapido y correctamente. Si yo te pudiera dar credito por esto, creeme que lo haria. Seleccione a Andrea solo porque establecio sus razones de tal seleccion, solo por eso. Jose Luis, me imagino que tu lo hiciste por la misma razon pero me gustaria estar mas segura. Estoy muy agradecida a ambos por su ayuda. Lamentablemente solo puedo darle puntos a una persona. Miren que me las vi muy dificil al elegir. Gracias.
