Abbreviations and Acronyms

Abbreviations, which are shortened versions of longer words, can be great time savers… if you know what they mean.  Otherwise, they can simply look like a confusing jumble of letters. Acronyms, or words derived from the first letter of a series of other words, are closely related to abbreviations and can also create confusion for those not in-the-know. Fortunately, YourDictionary is here to help decipher the codes. We have a wealth of abbreviation and acronym guides, from a List of all 50 State Abbreviations to a List of Common Medical Abbreviations, a list of Business Abbreviations, a list of Military Acronyms and more. So, next time your doctor tells you to "LOL qd in NH asap," you can refer to these databases of commonly used acronyms and commonly used abbreviations to figure out just what she meant.
