I have been working on my own list of abbreviations, which I have
accumulated from many sources, for my LC work.  Certainly, a list has
been created before, separate from the standard nursing abbreviations,
such as on pg. 678 of the brown book.  ILCA said they didn't have a
list.  Any feedback would be appreciated.  I have used ABM for "formula"
and will refer those who wish a alternative abbreviation to the previous
discussion on LN and the comprehensive list of alternatives in the
archives.

I would be happy to share whatever I end up with.
I leave it to someone else to make a list which decifers all the
initials used on LN (IMOVHO;BTW;MIL;TIA;WRT;etc)
