: Re: Is it correct to use acronyms in a bio or should I omit it? In writing a bio in a technical context, like an author blurb in a publication, should I use acronyms or spell them out? Always?

If the audience you are writing to knows what those acronyms are, then go ahead and use them. So for technical documents, resumes, etc, the audience knows what BS, MS, PhD stand for.

Personally, I didn't know the technical or certifications acronyms, but if the document you are writing is very technical and meant for technical people you can get away without spelling out the acronyms. My rule of thumb is to spell out everything at least once unless it's something that is universally understood.

: I would recommend Melville, particularly his descriptions of various events out at sea. He is a superb describer of action. With respect to weather, connecting it to the familiar is one method.
