| Abbreviations and acronyms | ||
| Abbreviations are used sparingly. Periods are used after all abbreviations except for metric measures, compass directions, and time (min, h, d, yr). All acronyms are spelled out upon first use. When dates are given, three-letter month abbreviations are used (Jan, Feb, Nov, ...), except for months with three or four letters, which are spelled out in full (May, June, July). | ||
