Book Description

Publication Date: September 20, 1999

We live in an age of abbreviations. Whatever your area of interest -- the Internet, science, government, entertainment, or just day-to-day living -- you will want to have this useful reference on hand. Misinterpreting an abbreviation in a classified ad for an apartment, a used car, or a prospective date can be disappointing, if not embarrassing. Discussion of sophisticated digital devices, global communications, and rapid Internet exchanges are increasingly dependent on abbreviations.
