To do a warm compress all you need to do is: 1  Take a clean and soft cloth and dip it in hot water. 2  Ensure the water is not too hot but a little more than warm. 3  Rinse the cloth. 4  Hold this warm cloth gently over your childâs sty for about five to ten minutes, depending on how comfortable your child is. 5  Do this a few times a day.
Rule #2: When abbreviating academic degrees and professional designations, use a period between each letter or element in the abbreviation. No internal spaces are necessary.
The period is the workhorse of punctuation. Like a great dessert, it's always welcome at the end. Here's how to use periods: 1  Use a period after a complete sentence. 2  Example: A hangover is the wrath of grapes. 3  Use a period after a command. 4  Example: Please close the door behind you. 5  Use a period after most abbreviations.
