Is there an online chart with abbreviations. I assume that each language has their own abbreviations, and I trust and know that whatever is abbreviated is still "within the flow of the language". So: "Hi Dolly" is a good thing in that "Hello, Dolly" echoes something different. Oddly, I would use "Doll", rather than "Dolly" -- come to that. --- Speranza -- Bordighera In a message dated 9/1/2010 8:43:26 A.M., juliereneb@xxxxxxxxx writes: of the cumbersome quality of the smart phone qwerty "keyboard" I use abbreviations which I never dreamed I would.
