#Linguistics#Language#EnglishScholars a question: is there a specific name for abbreviations that use a letter or letters that are not present in the fully spelled out version of the word e.g. oz. for ounce, no. for number or pp. for pages?
I’ve been learning #German for about 7-8 months now and I continue to occasionally think in my second language (French) when trying to answer questions or form thoughts in German. It usually comes out as a mix of both languages.
I find it fascinating that my brain won’t try to answer these things in English, though.
