IL Accepted Abbreviations List

hi,

I agree with Sunitha on this. It is difficult to monitor every post though.
However by giving an accepted list of abbreviations, it is upto the discretion of the member to use it or not. SOmetimes due to shortage of time, one is compelled to use short forms. I feel any short form used should not be offensive to any other person.

Agree with both of you..I, sometimes, yes.. might have used short form without any intentions. Does not mean to hurt or offend anyone.

But, will remember the rules in future.

Thanks.
