Instead, always use full names
(including first and last names)
for all contacts. (e.g., use "Jacob
Stevenson" instead of "Dad")
2) Do not use abbreviations. (i.e., use
"Lieutenant" instead of "Lt." or
"Sergeant" instead of "Sgt.")
3) Do not use acronyms. (i.e., use
"County Finance Department"
instead of "CFD")
4) Do not use special characters.
(e.g., "@", "hyphen -", "aster-
isk*", "ampersand &")
5) If a name is not recognized from

"Grandpa Joseph" instead of "Pa
