[Karim_Rap_4_life]

Hello Brothers and sisters I came with this topic which is necessary and I would like to represent it to you to gain some information. These are common abbreviations I was always came across during lectures and reading procedures. I gathered them one by one and I think these are the main major ones. Abbreviations are useful you find them in magazines, articles, newspapers, Novels, advertisements….etc. I made a long research to find them so I decided to gather them in one topic if you don’t mind I’ve another list about US states if you want to see them tell me to publish them. As well as a map of United Kingdom with the pronunciation of each state
