Confusion with abbreviations?
Is PD confused with SD or with WD - all end with D.
Is SA confused with SD or with SW, all start with S
Is CN confused with GN, both end in N
Why would you say this last set is more confusing than the others?
CITN rather than CN seems to stray from the generally accepted pattern of TWO letters.
We also have the multi-character symbol - WDMTGTS. I still like WD.
Actually, it matters not what abbreviations are used, as it only matters to what it means to the one reading it.
Perhaps we should follow the rule: "Don't abbrev."
