4. not without the lol
actually anything without a slash works for me. i'm just so anal, a slash should only be used for things that have slashes between them. i'd like to be more specific but i went to public school after prop 13 was passed, so, like i'm all, whatever...

13. I think the only proper way is "(nt)" - lower case and in parantheses
Anyone who does it differently should be immediately tombstoned...

19. What about n.t. vs. nt?
As well as n.t. vs. N.T., and nt vs. NT?

Oh the trauma of it all.

I have to confess that I do usually use an oblique when writing a date (obviously putting it the right way round dd/mm/yy) even though a stop would be more naturally correct - just because dd.mm.yy looks ugly.

20. I don't know what any of the abbreviations are anyway.
nt could be not true, note taken, I had to look it up in wikipedia. it's too contrived for me. WTF does it mean?

24. But then people would think it was a typo of "not"
Example: That's so interesting! (nt)

:D
