When a new graduation year dawns, add 19 to the corresponding 20th-century year in a rolling, 100-year fashion. Write out degree years occurring in the 20th century between (and including) 1900 and the current degree year (which, if it is currently, e.g., 2016) as, e.g., Jane Brownstone 1900, MA1902, PhD1905 but Harvey Greengrass 1913, MA1915, PhD’18. Write out degree years occurring in the 19th century as, e.g., John Bluephie 1880, MS1883, PhD1885. There is no space between the x and the year include the apostrophe with the year with advanced degrees, the x goes between the degree and the year: MDx’61, DVMx’75, PhDx’54, MAx’90. If someone did not - or has not yet - graduated from UW–Madison, use an x before the year that s/he would have graduated or will graduate: rock star Steve Miller x’67. Use only on the first reference within an article do not include letters before a bachelor’s degree do not use periods with the degree abbreviation do not use a space between the degree and two-digit class year use a close single quote (apostrophe) to precede the year (it’s ’, not ‘) use a comma to separate each degree: Jim Hoyt ’65, MS’67, PhD’70. When referring to a current student, either use an x or make a reference to his/her academic year status (but not both): John Borman x’21 or John Borman, a freshman Include apostrophe in this list of high-achieving studentsĮxamples are the nineties, the 1980s and 1990s, the 1980s and ’90s for the first decade of a century use, e.g., years 2000–2009, not 2000s or ’00s for the second decade of a century use, e.g., second decade or 2010s see also CMS 9.33

Alternatively, some who are profoundly deaf may prefer the term hard of hearing. Some people with mild or moderate hearing loss may affiliate themselves with the deaf community and prefer to be referred to as deaf instead of hard of hearing.

Instead, deafness is often considered a culture. Many people do not consider being deaf or having hearing loss as a disability.
