Orville Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 (edited) I looked up acronyms/abbreviations for "Communication" and here is what I got: And can be found at this url: https://www.abbreviations.com/abbreviation/Communication As you can see, it sure is comm. NOT com as it is not found anywhere in any lists I came across in my searches. And in computer networking it is now just commonly the letter "C" from the list below. And there are many other urls and dictionaries on-line that also support this. Below was copied from the URL listed above. What is the abbreviation for Communication? Looking for the shorthand of Communication? This page is about the various possible meanings of the acronym, abbreviation, shorthand or slang term: Communication. Term Definition C Communication Computing » Networking COMM Communication Business » General Business COMM Communication Miscellaneous » Aircraft & Aviation CMC communication Medical » British Medicine What does Communication mean? communication, communicating(noun) the activity of communicating; the activity of conveying information. ========================= COPY END ============================== Like I stated earlier, abbreviations DO change, just as slang words and new words get added to languages. You can use whatever you like or prefer, but this is the way it's now perceived, whether folks like it or not. So Comm in the HU IS 100% correct and LOR has it correct. And this case is now officially closed as far as any further info from me, and the last I will say on it.

BluMan Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 On 12/19/2020 at 12:49 AM, Don said: I don't care what they do. It's COM. Not really interested in having one of those conversations where you say the same thing over and over and over (and over) just to make your point. Wow! Merry Christmas to you as well! I guess it started with me using COMM instead of COM. I used that abbreviation simply because LOR was using it in their software and to make it as clear to the user as possible about what I was talking about. This conversation got hijacked because all I was trying to do was help the user that requested it. Maybe I'll just stop trying to be helpful. At the end of the day, does it REALLY matter? The whole idea was to get the user help and, even if it's wrong, using the wording that's in the product shouldn't derail this topic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Took 20 minutes to type in a program...... then the power plug would pop out. Had a bunch of HP programable calculators through the 70s. Still have an HP 41C. Best calculator ever My dad wouldn’t buy me the 16K expansion - $150 was too expensive. :D He did, however, allow me to use his reel-to-reel tape recorder to save my programs on. ZX-81 - VIC20 (300 bps modem, acoustic coupler), C-64, Amiga 1000, Amiga 2000, various IBM, etc, etc... Now get off my lawn! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
