Reply To: Shortforms as parts of longer words
Hi Cindi,
I am not seeing that it is okay to use ... as it does not appear in the Appendix 2 list. I have had a couple of people ask me about it ... and recently had a student ask me because she was told it couldn't be used because it was not on the Appendix 2 list. I guess my confusion lies in why is it ok for hereabouts using the dot 5 contraction and adding contracted abouts ..(adding abs) but I don't see where it is allowed in whereabouts (no apostrophe 's) using the dot 5 "wh" and adding shortfdorm abouts (abs). I apologize if I am confusing you 🙂
