Erectile Dysfunction?
Eating Disorder?
Economic Development?
Edema?
Enterprise Development?
Early Death?
Eminent Domain?
Early Deployment?
Edward (with autocorrect capitalization)?

What does "CPD" mean to you? Today, at work, I've seen it refer to both "continuing professional development" AND "cable position device". (Separate texts!)

Hello English-speaking #filmfans and cineasts in the #fediverse. I could need some #mastohelp.

Is there something like a widely accepted and known abbreviation for the expression "original version/track with (English) subtitles" in #English? (I am thinking about a similar short form, like the German #OmU for "Original mit Untertiteln").

Asking for a friend. ;) All hints are greatly appreciated. Thank you!

This surely helps too if you work with #earlymodern European books of all kinds, #dear #histodons: a few contemporary #abbreviations, proofreader's marks, encoded alphabets, and more signs to get around.

Whenever the abbreviation "NLP" pops up, I still cannot help reading it as "Neuro-Linguistic Programming".

Interesting how common household abbreviations silently change their meaning.

Thanks Hannah Fry. I needed that this afternoon

When I #AmEditing #Physician-#Researchers' #manuscripts before they #submit them to #MedicalJournals, I'm watching for 1,000,001 issues—#science, #grammar, #readability, & others. One: whether authors have provided full terms for all #abbreviations they use. Boosts #readability.

Als ehemaliger DDR-Bürger bin ich doch ziemlich überrascht, dass wieder so viele Leute ML studieren wollen.

What happened to the good old rules "no abbreviations in titles" and "define all #abbreviations"? How many people know N400, ERP, EEG? Still looks interesting ... See also https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2024/jan/17/kids-reading-better-paper-vs-screen

This is highly useful if you work with #earlymodern books of all kinds: a compiled and explained set of contemporary #abbreviations. From apothecaries' weights to signs for half moon moments in #almanacs. Boost, #bookhistory and #histodons looking for abbreviations of the past. #history

What the hell does dc/gla mean????????????????????????????????????????

In a dating profile.

DC/Glasgow???

Yo. It's not like there wasn't enough space to spell it out.

By the way, I'm really asking. I have no clue other than the hypothesis above.

Maybe people in #Glasgow can shoot down my interpretation if I'm off base here. Maybe they travel between DC and Glasgow?

(I'm interpreting DC as Washington, D.C. It's the city next door.)

Anyone wonder if this abbreviation for a certain social media basket case was accidental or not?

- Ihr wollt alternative Texte in Bildern.
- Ihr wollt Hashtags.

Alles um Leute nicht auszuschließen beziehungsweise um Informationen auffindbar zu machen.

Warum nutzt ihr dann in euren Toots/Beiträgen ABKÜRZUNGEN die nicht jeder versteht?

Gerne #reToot
