editthis article never existed before because (and I don't know why) List of initialisms already exists. Kingturtle 16:34 31 May 2003 (UTC)
So if we use math language, initialisms + acronyms = abbreviations, or no? -- Taku 16:44 31 May 2003 (UTC)

Additional lists
editI have found additional lists, but I am unsure about the criterion that they be in the English language. Should the abbreviations themselves be used in the English language, or should they be abbreviated from English words? Therefore, I am placing here an already alphabetized list of lists, including the lists already listed in the article.
