PNEUMONOULTRAMICROSCOPICSILICOVOLCANOCONIOSIS

I refuse to abbreviate it. I wouldn't know where to begin.
Don't ask me to pronounce it. My wife can.

Christian. Many Neopagans use the abbreviation "Xtian", which causes offense and doesn't help interfaith relations.

In chatspeak, why and you. These two words are so short...why the hell do you have to abbreviate them?

"abbreviation" - just seems redundant to abbreviate it...

Christmas is the word I simply refuse to abbreviate. Dec 25th "Christmas" is Jesus' birthday. And letting our imagination run wilder, we can force the issue of the suffix "mas" being spanish for "more", Christmas then becomes "more Christ" on that day. Which unfortunately, most people have somehow forgotten nowadays. Let's really celebrate it for Jesus Christ!

Post Office & the State name on envelopes.
I used to work for a semi big wig politician & he told me that it offended him when people wrote to him but were just too busy to write out words in the address. I thought that was stupid, but it stuck with me nonetheless kinda like an O.C.D. thing & I have a hard time abbreviating those words to this day.

If this is applying to writing, then one should not abbreviate any word unless it is part of a dialogue pattern.
If this is in general, as what word I refuse to abbreviate--the profain words most of all.

I don't like abbreviating the name of my old college english honor society--Sigma Tau Delta--for obvious reasons.

I refuse to abbreviate the word "I". See, I just refused. (how can you abbreviate it?)
...or did I just abbreviate the word ME??
by seaofgrass on December 6th, 2006
any word, unless there's a spacing issue, there's no need. stop being so lazy, learn to type, it looks stupid when half your words are abbreviated in a conversation, note instant messaging conversations.

Actually, I usually only abbreviate a very few words, like esp.(especially), w(with), etc.(ecetera). I only use those because they are so commonly known, or in w's case, because I often find a 'with' in a space where it helps to have it shorter when I write.

Christmas, which is abbreviated as Xmas. Even to the non-Christian, doesn't it seem odd that the "X" replaces "Christ" which is the whole meaning of the word?

How would you abbreviate Good Neighbor?

Mainly because I don't know how to abbreviate it!
I used to refused to abbreviate Christmas and Christian, but then I learned that the X is from the ChiRho.
