- If each letter is said separately, use capital letters with spaces in between each letter (e.g., `P G H`). If the word is pluralized, just attach the `s` to the last letter (e.g., `D V Ds`).
- When abbreviations or acronyms are used:
- If each letter is said separately, use capital letters with spaces in between each letter (e.g., `P G H`)
- If the letter is pluralized, add `s` _plus_ a ["pronounce" code](#pronounce-codes) to the last letter (e.g., `D V Ds[diz]`)
- If the word is pronounced as a word, use capitals with no spaces (e.g., `FEMA`)
- Don't use any diacritics that are not part of the English alphabet (e.g., `fiancee` not <code class="counterex">fiancée</code>)
- A single word should always be spelled as an entire word, even if there is a pause between syllables. **Never** put a breakpoint in the middle of a word.
