Suggestions for Programmers

Implementing the following suggestions would make your programs look nicer to many users.

• End sentences with a period, question mark, or exclamation point.
• When possible, select between singular and plural terms instead of using "(s)." See Singular vs. Plural in Item Counts.
• When screen space is available, use more letters for month and day names for the following names:
  March, April, June, July, Sept.
  Tues., Thurs.
• Use "want" instead of "wish."
