Susan I am a big fan of abbreviations.
And guess where I learned many of my favorites?

JRRT's letters!

Fav
def
w/out
v [very]

are the one's which come most readily to mind.

After reading Mr. Underhill's posting manifesto I have tried to cut down radically on my shortcuts however.

I am actually getting a little scared to post on this thread, now that I know just how much scrutiny I am really under! [img]smilies/eek.gif[/img]

And I better not mention my pitiful understanding of when to use [], {}, or - or commas.
