I think for the same reason that we park in a "driveway" and drive on a "parkway" or eat "giant shrimp." It's one of those oddities of life.

Abbreviation, in itself, is not a abbreviation, so obviously it is not going to be small, and concise, but more of a broad word, and catagorize much of the definition of the word "abbreviation" and obviously, since many words in the english language arrange themselves with latin words, or are similar to those of latin words, so thus, the long word, "abbreviation", now try to answer that for "antidisestablishmentterrianism"

Yeah I agree with u too. But u can just call it "abberv" to think of it as being smaller & more abbreviated.

You're right. But "abbrev." isn't so big.
