Is analog acceptable to use in a British English technical dissertation in Electronic Engineering?
I'm currently writing my dissertation, in which there is quite a few mentions of an analog / analogue converter, and suchlike.
The issue is that one of the products is called an 'Analog Front End', which has to stay in that format, but when describing it (and other component's) functions, should I refer to them as 'analogue' or 'analog'?
Thanks
In British English you'd be correct always to use "analogue" except in a name, quotation or reference in which case you should repeat the spelling used in the referred text.
Notwithstanding the above, the UK's technical world is very familiar with new world spelling so the issue is not too critical except perhaps with a pedantic few!!
