Boris Repschinski Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 The discussion on the abbreviation of Philemon brought up an area that, to my mind, needs attention in Accordance. But it also highlights the lack of common standards outside of Accordance. When writing manuscripts I am often expected to use the three letter abbreviation.
