I don't think we realise just how important
abreviations can be. Don hit the nail on the head with his reference to
amateur radio.
Imagine sending this?longhand by radio using
Morse code.
?
"Calling ZL1ATB in New?Zealand?from
MM5PSL in Scotland
I acknowledge receipt of your last transmission.
Your signals are as follows. Readability 5, Signal strength 9 and Tone 9. Best
wishes and good luck."

That's a lot of Morse code when it can be sent abreviated like
this:
?
"ZL1ATB
De?MM5PSL
QSL UR RST599. 73 es GL"
?
Off topic perhaps, but it does illustrate how we are expected to learn
abreviations and jargon if we want?to progress quickly in
a?particular field.
