English Abbrev's


[10:21] me: Ever wonder why months don't get abbreviated to two letters?
[10:21] me: (as opposed to three)
[10:21] me: That was just bugging me.
[10:21] him: why?
[10:22] me: I don't know. I mean, I was typing them out into an array for a select box... And it seems easy enough to do less typing, and still be immediately recognizable. Easier than shorting the abbreviation of the states from three letters to two...
[10:22] me: Ja, Fb, Mr, Ar, My, Jn, Jl, Ag, Sp, Ot, Nv, Dc -- (almost) entirely consistent.
[10:27] me: Pop Quiz--how many of those are elements? ;)
