Abbreviate

Note on abbrievation

To me, there are two cases we have to do abbrievation:
1) when taking notes
2) when writing a computer program

In the 1) case, we want o gain time by abbreviating words, while in 2) case, we want to avoid clutter in our codes. In both cases, the caveat is to make sure that you will be able to recognize these abbreviations afterward without confusion. We should also take advantage of the context.

Here are a list of tricks (some may not apply for computer programmings)

	Original	Abbreviation
Symbols	equal	=
	*	important
	w/	with
Standard	for example	e.g.
1st syllable	dem	democracy
	integer	int
1st syllable+first letter of the second	demo	demonstration
or so much you can recongnize	intro	introduction
Omit vowels	level	lvl
Use the first and last syllables	energy	engy
use the first and last letters	feet	ft

9．Us the first and last syllable

engy = energy
