Word shortening question

Suite is often abbreviated as 'Ste'. They use the last, and only 'e'.

roger i like your example, send more if you could, but is there a grammatical rule? I wonder why I can't find anything to support this!

There is no single 'rule'. This is not a matter of grammar, but of style or convention. Abbreviations are created for convenience. Different abbreviations of the same word are possible - for example in the British and Commonwealth armies the rank of Private is shortened to Pte whereas the US Army and Marine Corps use Pvt. The word abbreviation can itself be represented by abbr, abbrv or abbrev. The Wikipedia entry entitled "Abbreviation" is quite informative.

There is no single 'rule'? THERE IS ACTUALLY THE RULE FOR THESE TYPES: BLVD, APT, PKWY... BUT CAN'T RECALL ITS NAME. IT SHOULD BE ONLINE SOMEWHERE.

THE ONES THAT HAVE NO RULE ARE THOSE WHERE ONLY FIRST LETTERS ARE USED: AVE, ENG, INC, ESC, DEL.

Please try to recall the name...

You can disregard the above quoted post. An idiot who shouts in capitals and provides a stupid and wrong answer, quoting some US-only street name abbreviations. Maybe the USPS, Fedex, the Government Printing Office, etc, have lists of these, but there is still no 'rule' in a grammatical sense.

THOSE ARE NOT RULES. THOSE ARE SPECIFIC EXAMPLES WHICH DO NOT FOLLOW ANY RULES.

No need to shout!

Somebody told me how to use Caps Lock. I tried it, and it was GOOD.

I see a coward (and fool) has been down voting.

When I print labels, the stamps.com software gets downright uppity if, when I copy and paste, my customer has used Str for street or avn for avenue, regardless of the fact that it may seem obvious. So, for USPS, at least, there is an accepted convention.

thanks to all

Who the hell are you?
