All about ASAP, FYI and FYA

“What’s FYI?”
“For your information.”
“What’s FYA?”
“For your action.”
“What’s WRT?”
“With reference to…”

The full meaning of many acronyms and abbreviations may not be immediately apparent for many people – students or working adults alike. For starters, an acronym is a word created from combining the initial letters of each word. For example, For your action. An abbreviation is a word shortened from its original form. For example, “Attn.” is an abbreviation of the word “attention” to convey the meaning “for the attention of”. In general, a full stop is used for abbreviations where the last letter of the word and the abbreviation are not the same. For example, “Co.” (Company) needs a full stop but “Ltd” (Limited) does not. Acronyms do not need punctuation marks. Below are some frequently used short forms in business communication like e-mails, faxes and letters:

a.k.a. – also known as
approx. – approximately
ASAP – as soon as possible
Attn. – for the attention of
Bcc. – blind carbon copy or blind copy to. In this case, the carbon copy is sent to an e-mail recipient whose e-mail address is not visible to the cc or other bcc recipients.
Cc. – carbon copy, or copy to
c/o – in care of, used when sending a document to A who will receive it on B’s behalf because B is away from the office.
COD – cash on delivery, where a person makes payment for an item purchase after it has been delivered.
e.g. – exempli gratia (for example)
et al. – et alii (and others). Usually used to list co-authors after the lead author in a bibliography, this form is now popularly used to address the other people other than the recipient in e-mails.
etc. – et cetera (and so on OR and so forth)
exc. – except
FYI – for your information
FYA – for your action
i.e. – id est (that is)
K – thousand, e.g. 450K = 450,000
