Abbreviations
Abbreviations are shortened versions of a word to be said in the simplest way possible. When writing articles, many people try to fit too much text in a small space. In these cases, the articles can be written more efficiently by using abbreviations. Sentences can be much easier and more understandable with these abbreviations. Instead of long sentences and words, abbreviations provide convenience in daily life in English.
The most important rule to know about abbreviations is that abbreviations are not usually used in official writing. You should make sure that the abbreviations you use in an article you write in daily life are familiar to everyone. If the abbreviation you are using is not used clearly, you will need to indicate the meaning of this abbreviation.
