atw: Re: Qualifications and postnominal abbreviations

Hello Stuart,

The AGPS Style Manual doesn't really provide enough info. on postnominal
professional (academic) abbreviations. This question wasn't really derived
from any work; I've just randomly decided to care about how to correctly
address people (probably more for business purposes) with university
degrees...

Hi Jessica -

Is the audience Australian or US or something else? Business, academic,
scientific, general?

I'd try the AGPS Style Manual but it's at home.

Cheers

Stuart
