Abbreviation Gone Mad
We've come up with a new abbreviation at work. What happens is that as I pick orders which get shipped out, I fill out a sheet which effectively acts as an invoice once completed. There's a box for "quantity". Mostly 1s, 2s, 3s.. occasional 4.. every so often some clever so-and-so decides to order 2000 of something.. you get the idea.

There's also abbreviations that can go in there, like "TOS"- Temporarily Out of Stock, "OP"- Out of Print, "RP"- Reprinting, "TF"- To Follow (Haven't yet tried putting WTF in..).. etc. Today we came up with

"TIN"

There Inn't None

Inn't is one of those northern english words which most british people will probably have heard at some point. It's an abbreviation of an already abbreviated word.

See.. it's all good and well taking the "o" out of "is not" and making it one word. But that wasn't enough, we had to remove the s as well, and the T, in all fairness, is often more of a gutteral noise than an actual letter.

Other popular doubly abbreviated words are-

wann't (wasn't)
wunn't (wouldn't)
shu'nner- or shud'ner (shouldn't)

oddly enough, there's also "conner" (that's more of a phonetic spelling than an actual word) for "can't" which is technically more of a slight lengthening.
