The Abbreviation Counter works by scanning your text for a predefined list of common abbreviations. These include everyday terms like "Dr.", "e.g.", "a.m.", and many more. Here's how it works in plain English:
- 1. Paste or type your text into the box.
- 2. Click "Count Abbreviations."
- 3. The tool scans your text, matches it against the list of abbreviations, and gives you a total count.
- 4. It also shows you which abbreviations were found, so you know exactly what's in your text.
For example, if your text says, "Meet me at 10 a.m. on Elm St.," the tool will count "a.m." and "St." as abbreviations. It's that simple!
