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 -“, “asterisk *”,
ampersand &”).
5) If a name is not recognized from the contact list, change it to a
more descriptive name (e.g., use
“Grandpa Joseph” instead of “Pa
Joe”).

lines when storing contacts:
(e.g., “Bob”, “Mom”, etc.). Instead,
always use full names (including first
and last names) for these contacts
'@', '-', '*', '&', etc.)
"Lieutenant" instead of "Lt.") or
acronyms (i.e., use "County Finance
Department" instead of "C. F. D."; Be
sure to say the name exactly as it is
entered in the contacts list
