Which is more correct: T-shirt or t-shirt? [closed]
Can we use small letter, while writing: T-shirt? What is correct and why: T-shirt or t-shirt?
Thank you.
T-shirt, t-shirt, tee-shirt, tee shirt:
- Most dictionaries recommend T-shirt, and it is the form most common in edited writing throughout the English-speaking world. Yet t-shirt is gaining ground, and both tee-shirt and tee shirt have some adherents. Not one of them is considered incorrect, so while T-shirt might be the safer choice, the others aren’t wrong.
The Grammarist
According to Ngram "tee shirt" (with or without hyphen) appears to be the more common expression.
T-shirt, because the shirt is bilaterally symmetric -- the left side looks just like the right side, but reflected. A capital T is symmetric in this way, but a small letter t is not (in the usual typefaces).
