I don't have very good writing skills and cannot spell.
One thing I did learn when using an "abbreviations" to always spell out the word, then using (use the abbreviation)!
Is this incorrect now?
I see a lot of go check google, which I don't like.
We were taught when you write, and don't know everyone that will read what you write to always use the right and proper abbreviation rule above.

You are right for formal or technical writing but the title here is discussion, a different kettle of fish.
i think we have a list of the common philatelic abbreviations somewhere handy. i am sure someone will show you where.
as for using google, a few clicks on the keyboard replaces the two large dictionaries, the thesaurus, and the french, the german and the dutch dictionaries i kept at the end of my desk for 40 or 50 years. a world atlas also, and a guide to proper english usage.

In this world of online social media, a shorthand has rapidly developed for better or worse (abbreviated words, acronyms, emoji's) It creeps over to all aspects. IMO
