(“John Smith” vs. “Dad,” “Smith Residence” vs. “Home”)
•Avoid using special characters, emojis or hyphenated names (@, &, #, /, -,
*, +, etc.)
•Avoid using acronyms (“In Case of Emergency” vs. “ICE”) or words with all
capital letters
•Spell words completely, no abbreviations (“Doctor Smith” vs. “Dr. Smith”)
Bluetooth® Wireless Technology† 5 , 21 (continued)
