I'm a native anglophone living in the UK. I abbreviate "something" as "sthg" sometimes. I wouldn't do it in a function/variable/method/class/... name, but then I don't think I'd use "something" as part of such a name in the first place in anything I wasn't very confident would only ever be throwaway code.
