If you’ve ever wondered why AM means morning, PM stands for afternoon, “e.g.” means “for example,” and “lbs” is the abbreviation for pounds, here’s a clever short video from the Yahoo! Who Knew? series that explains all of those and more.
While this video doesn’t have much to do with explaining technology, it’s still a wonderful explanation. I appreciate it because, as an author and consultant, I do write a quite a bit and have always wondered where these common abbreviations find their origin.
Who knew? Now we do. Thanks, Yahoo!
