Analytical Thesis Statements. Adapted from Writing Analytically by Rosenwasser and Stephen. To analyze something is to ask what that something means. An analytical essay answers how something does what it does or why it is as it is. Therefore, a thesis statement in an analysis paper should be answering a HOW or WHY. question.
Guidelines for Using Acronyms. 1  Capitalize acronyms, and do not use periods. When acronyms become integrated into the language as common nouns (for example, laser, radar, or scuba), they are no longer capitalized.  When using an acronym the first time, spell the phrase out and follow it with the acronym in parentheses.
1 Plurals: Plural acronyms are written with a lower-case s after the abbreviation, without an apostrophe, unless full stops are used between the letters (e.g. ABCs or A.B.C.'s). 2  Note that Wikipedia generally avoids using full stops in upper-case acronyms.he expansions of Latin abbreviations should still be italicised, as with most foreign words and phrases (Anno Domini, circa, exempli gratia, et cetera, id est). These are not normally used in article prose.
