Abbreviations & Acronyms

Acronyms, Initialisms & Abbreviations Dictionary

Abbreviations, initials and acronyms are designed to make writing easier. After all, who wants to write out full words--especially when you are texting, tweeting or IM-ing. (All that typing can be hard on your thumbs!) Everyone knows what LOL or ASAP means. But, when you get a lot of abbreviations at once, or acronyms you don’t understand, that alphabet soup can make your head spin and can leave you wondering just WTH is going on. This is especially true in medicine, the military, and the Internet where abbreviations, acronyms and initials abound.

Covering subject areas such as associations, education, the Internet, medicine and others, the Acronyms, Initialisms and Abbreviations Dictionary is one of the few reference manuals that tackles this subject.
