Abbreviation Trend In German Expositions And Bodies
Scientific American notes that German names are shortened into pronounceable initials. Examples include ILA for Internationale Luftschiffahrt-Ausstellung and Ala for Allgemeine Luftfahrtzeug Ausstellung. New forms such as Damnu Imuk and Datsch arise as busy people prefer compact codes, with limits when pronunciations become odd. Abstracting long official titles into initials may become common for expositions societies and similar bodies.
