As this thread has been 'bumped' by being linked to in a recent thread, I've copied the list above my marichrd from another thread to here, to keep this one running as the main one on abbreviations. I'll also stick it in the General Chat section.

Feel free to add/reorder to the list as appropriate. There are some missing from marichrd's list that were listed earlier in the thread, so if anyone wants to compile an tidy up the list, be my guest!

[T4M]
