Try to avoid using abbreviations such as ``e.g.'' (for ``for
|
||||
example''), ``i.e.'' (for ``that is''), ``no.'' (for ``number''),
|
||||
``cf.'' (for ``in contrast to'') and ``w.r.t.'' (for ``with respect
|
||||
``cf.'' (for ``compare''/``see also'') and ``w.r.t.'' (for ``with respect
|
||||
to'') as much as possible. It is almost always clearer and easier to
|
||||
read the expanded version.@footnote{We do use these occasionally, but
|
||||
try not to overdo it.}
