DAY ONE:
Abbreviations/Acronyms

Acronyms should generally be spelled out the first time, as in: GROSS RENTAL INCOME (GRI). Thereafter only the acronym should be used.

Acronyms should be defined once per unit of publication, i.e. once in a book, once for a website, once for an essay.

Please use either A.M. and P.M. or a.m. and p.m., consistency is cool.
