In Reply to: Where in BOS does it say not to abbreviate? - sm

to not abbreviate entirely, but I am just wondering if I start doing what it says if I will get marked off since I have been using abbreviations and there hasn't been any mention to me not to. BOS does say to expand and then put abbreviation in parentheses and then use the abbreviation throughout the document. Is that what everyone is doing?
