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.
Abbreviations can be written with or without full stops (periods ). Often, you have a choice. In other words, you can write C.N.N. or CNN, or e.g. or eg. Whatever format you use, be consistent. The most common format is to omit full stops/periods in uppercase abbreviations (e.g., CNN) but to use them in lowercase abbreviations (e.g., e.g.). If the abbreviation is a company name, you should copy the format the company uses.
