Setting in Japan in the 60's{ in the Army} at a Professors house thought I'd show my intellect.
Told him antidisestablishmentarianism was the longest word.

Goes to show ya how dumb dumb I was.

Glad you asked, Don:

Interestingly enough, the word 'abbreviation' can itself be represented by the abbreviation abbr., abbrv. or abbrev., so really it's only as 'long' as you want it to be...

The Early Modern English period, between the 15th and 17th centuries, had abbreviations like ye or Þe, used for the word the; hence, by later misunderstanding, "Ye Olde Tea Shoppe."

Around that same time in Boston, a fad of abbreviation started that swept the United States, with the globally popular term OK is generally credited as a remnant of its influence.

In French, the period only follows an abbreviation if the last letter in the abbreviation is not the last letter of its antecedent: "M." is the abbreviation for "monsieur" while "Mme" is that for "madame". Note there is no period after 'Mme', that's not a typo.

The U.S. media tend to use periods in two-word abbreviations like United States (U.S.), but not personal computer (PC) or television (TV). Many British publications have gradually done away with the use of periods in abbreviations. It's interesting to note that U.S. is capitalized in long form (United States), whereas TV and PC are not.
