Abbreviations

An abbreviation (from Latin brevis, meaning short) is a shortened form of a word or phrase. Usually, but not always, it consists of a letter or group of letters taken from the word or phrase. For example, the word abbreviation can itself be represented by the abbreviation abbr., abbrv. or abbre.

We use abbreviations when we talk with friends and when we write diaries and informal letters.
There are different classes of abbreviations

1.Those that use part of word(these is called clipping) e.g phone -telephone
2.Those that use initials e.g - VIP
3. Those that use first and last letters e.g - MR

Your job is to hunt down as many abbreviations that you can including the act actual words of every single abbreviations you found.Good Luck.
