Abstract

Basic building blocks of the English language, the good old ABCs, are frequently used singly to convey an entire word or concept. More than just popular acronyms or initialisms, single-letter words help communicate simply and succinctly complex processes, well-known organizations, familiar brand names, legal designations, and physical objects from large to small.
