Some may not need an indicator as it'd be a common or rather well-known abbreviation already - for instance, if you have "east," you don't have to indicate anything for picking the first letter 'cause E is a pretty standard abbreviation for the word. Likewise, there are many such standard abbreviations, which you may find in a dictionary. So if you even have a hint of doubt, you may refer either Oxford or Chambers to have it clarified.VJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06104893127782704192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2195377761774996603.post-27789433099874195292014-11-20T16:29:42.758+05:302014-11-20T16:29:42.758+05:30Hi PKPSwami, I couldn't help but notice a smal...Hi PKPSwami, I couldn't help but notice a small technical error in your statement.

And when I did find this out, I was reluctant to change because the surfaces were already in place. I guess more attention is needed at the time of setting itself.

Once the penny dropped that "average" was being used as a noun and not as an adjective, making NORM rather than NORMAL the synonym, I could only salute the smoothness of the surface!Abhayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04198192791769284895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2195377761774996603.post-16094757088494791032014-11-20T10:16:02.738+05:302014-11-20T10:16:02.738+05:30Governmental command provided backing to a Tamil l...Governmental command provided backing to a Tamil leader (4) {FI<-}{A}{T}<br /><br />Old multi-language actor's home (small) (7) {PAD}{MINI}SandhyaPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04942775086227477649noreply@blogger.com
