Re: [spoon-discuss] standard abbrevs


The initial state of the LOSA is as follows:

short form		completion
----------		----------
adm.			administrator
bng.			being
bngs.			beings
plr.			player
plrs.			players
prop.			proposal
props.			proposals
dim.			dimension
dims.			dimensions
BAC			Blood Alcohol Content
LOGAS			List of Generally Abhorred Stuff
LOSA			List of Standard Abbreviations
min.			minimum
max.			maximum
minist.			minister
grem.			gremlin
grems.			gremlins

-It's nice, except for one thing: I pronounce "minist" as min-ist. Two syllables. (oh, add syll. and sylls.) If you take out the second "i," you get "minst" which seems much more monosyllabic.-
