Abstract :
`Rules-of-thumb´ are developed for guidance in the handling of technical names so that readers can benefit-rather than suffer-from italization, and other stylistic conventions in technical writing. The discussion also promotes the elimination of jargon, special meanings and ad hoc abbreviations.
