- ndsipa_pomu 3y agoYeah, sorry - I should have put abbreviation for the U.S. version.
- jameshart 3y agoAmericans are comfortable that ‘statistics’ abbreviates to ‘stats’ Brits are also comfortable that ‘economics’ abbreviates to ‘econ’. Let’s not pretend either of us has a rational basis for this argument.
