Tips
- Add 'my child' or 'family' to keep the meaning personal
- Avoid capitalization unless you mean the technical acronym
- Use full sentences rather than labels like 'son: [name]'
- Specify 'biological son' or 'adopted son' if lineage matters
- In hardware contexts, write out 'small outline non-leaded' instead
