Tom Standage Quotes

One Common Abbreviation Used In Roman Letters Was SPD, Which Was Short For Salutem Plurimam Dicit, Or "sends Many Greetings." This Served As A Greeting At The Beginning Of A Letter, To Indicate The Sender And The Receiver, As In "Marcus Sexto SPD" ("Marcus Sends Many Greetings To Sextus"). Another Popular Acronym Was SVBEEV, Which Was Short For Si Vales, Bene Est, Ego Valeo ("if You Are Well, That Is Good, I Am Well"). Such Abbreviations Saved Space And Time, Just As Acronyms (BTW, AFAIK, IANAL) Do Today In Internet Posts And Text Messages.
