Now, see, this is what more dictionaries should be like - adding entries not based on their place in "proper" English but in their usage in modern-day, often slangy English.

The question is, do all 26*26 2 letter combos have some abbr. for them? And similarly for all 3 letter combos.

You gotta be kidding.

I'll paste this for the lazy.

AGN:

  • Active Galactic Nucleus
  • Acute Glomerulonephritis
  • Again (Amateur Radio)
  • Anwendungen der Informatik In Geistes- und Naturwissenschaften (Informatics, University Of Hamburg)
  • Armageddon Games Network
  • Armageddon Games Network (game developer)

And ZC:

  • Characteristic Impedance (explain, please?)
  • Zangger Committee
  • Zelda Classic (game)
  • Zinc, Clear (plating)
  • Zone Co-ordinator

Amazing.

You can add a definition to their page. Hehe, we should add PM and DN, then all will know of their greatness!

Z is often used to denote impedence, which is a property of electric circuits. The c for "characteristic" is normally a subscript.
