Normally, words such as "the" and "of" are left out of initials. For example, Winnie the Pooh's initials would be W.P., not W.T.P.

When you do an abbreviation you always omit the little connecting words as not being part of the main theme.

The words such as 'in', 'the', 'of' are not included as a part of abbreviation in English language..
