A.M. stands for ante meridiem and is sometimes
abbreviated a.m. or am. A.M. means before noon and refers to morning. It starts
just after midnight.
P.M.
P.M. stands for post meridiem and is sometimes
abbreviated p.m. or pm. P.M. refers to afternoon and evening. P.M. starts just
after noon.
Etc.
The very familiar Latin abbreviation etc. stands for et
cetera 'and the rest' or 'and so forth'. In English, we use the word
etcetera or et cetera without necessarily being aware it is actually Latin.

I.E.
If you want to say 'that is,' you would use 'i.e.' Here is
an example:
In Citations
Ibid
Ibid., from ibidem means 'the same' or 'in the same
place.' You would use ibid.
to refer to the same author and work (e.g., book, html page,
or journal article) as the one immediately preceding.
Op. Cit.
Op. cit. comes from the Latin opus citatum or opere
citato 'work cited.' Op. cit. is used when ibid. is inappropriate
because the immediately preceding work is not the same. You would only use op.
cit. if you have already cited the work in question.
Et Seq.
To refer to a certain page or passage and those that follow
it, you may find the abbreviation 'et seq.' This abbreviation ends in a
period.
Sc.
The abbreviation sc. or scil. means 'namely'. Wikipedia says
it is in the process of being replaced by i.e.
Latin Abbreviations of Comparison
q.v. and c.f.
You would use q.v. if you wanted to make reference to
something elsewhere in your paper; while
c.f. would be more appropriate for a comparison with an outside work. |
