Abbreviations are always an issue for me. Here on GitHub you can find a list I created earlier:
AI related abbreviations I collected can be found on CIVITAI:
As soon as I have more time I will merge all the abbreviation lists into one abbreviation list.
As soon as I have time I'll look into the subject of the common X in English abbreviations. What I have read so far is quite interesting and worth further consideration. See one [1,2] for some ggod and interesting explanations.
There are various ways to support my work, if you like to do. One option is to purchase some of my extraordinary NFTs.
I loved the time when you could still get a hamburger 🍔 next to a coffee ☕ for one Euro!
If you like what I present here, or if it helps you, or if it is useful for you, you are welcome to donate a small contribution by use one of my favourite crypto coins 💰.
