I'm talking to a girl on discord just swapping facts and I just dropped the "LA is the shortest abbreviation of a word" fact, so uhh... I'm winning at friendship 😎😎😎
El Pueblo de Nuestra Señora la Reina de los Angeles de Porciuncula (the Town of Our Lady, Queen of the Angels of Porciuncula) gets shortened down to LA making it just under 4% of the original word length
