[edit]

this article never existed before because (and I don't know why) List of initialisms already exists. Kingturtle 16:34 31 May 2003 (UTC)

So if we use math language, initialisms + acronyms = abbreviations, or no? -- Taku 16:44 31 May 2003 (UTC)

Initialisms + acronyms + contractions = abbreviations (or have I missed any other types?) -- Heron


please help me to know it out, what does the enshortening (or an abbreviation) "w/" stand for... will be thankful.

Additional lists

[edit]

I have found additional lists, but I am unsure about the criterion that they be in the English language. Should the abbreviations themselves be used in the English language, or should they be abbreviated from English words? Therefore, I am placing here an already alphabetized list of lists, including the lists already listed in the article.
