Analytical Thesis Statements. Adapted from Writing Analytically by Rosenwasser and Stephen. To analyze something is to ask what that something means. An analytical essay answers how something does what it does or why it is as it is. Therefore, a thesis statement in an analysis paper should be answering a HOW or WHY. question.
Guidelines for Using Acronyms. 1  Capitalize acronyms, and do not use periods. When acronyms become integrated into the language as common nouns (for example, laser, radar, or scuba), they are no longer capitalized.  When using an acronym the first time, spell the phrase out and follow it with the acronym in parentheses.
While initial letters are commonly used to form an acronym, the original definition was a word made from the initial letters or syllables of other words, for example UNIVAC from UNIVersal Automatic Computer. In English, acronyms pronounced as words may be a 20th-century phenomenon.here is also some disagreement as to what to call abbreviations that some speakers pronounce as letters and others pronounce as a word. For example, the terms URL and IRA can be pronounced as individual letters: /ËjuËËÉrËÉl/ and /ËaÉªËÉrËeÉª/ , respectively; or as a single word: /ËÉrl/ and /ËaÉªÉrÉ/ , respectively.
