Abstract

Abstract The essence of good writing is precision and clarity, and the use of abbreviations is an ideal way to ensure these essentials. Abbreviations are shortened forms of words. Their purpose is to provide readily understandable substitutes and in this way aid the reading effort. This phenomenon perfectly reflects the spirit of our time, when there is a need to transmit much information during the shortest period of time. Abbreviations add colour, fun and interest to language and thereby they act as mnemonics, or memory devices. Many abbreviations when used properly can certainly enhance communications, because they act as 'short-hand' and therefore increase the efficiency of communications; in other words, more meaning is expressed in less time and fewer words. Abbreviations are a fascinating reflection of the development of communications, language and social attitudes. As literacy rose, and as advances in science and technology brought with them more complicated terms and concepts, the tendency of abbreviating terms became increasingly convenient. In business, industry, education and government abbreviations are often used by people working within the same fields. The major benefit of abbreviation is precision, concision and clarity; as in mathematics complicated structural ideas may be expressed briefly but precisely.
