ABBREVIATIONS

An abbreviation is a shortened form of a word or phrase. Abbreviations have been used as long as phonetic scripts have existed, in some sense actually being more common in early literacy, where spelling out a whole word was often avoided and initial letters commonly being used to represent words in specific application. Here I have presented 20 interesting abbreviations and after I wrote I found it to be important also. Enjoy it.
