Especially students and readers not involved in the academic study of this subject might benefit.\r\n\r\nAbbreviating such words in the print edition is of course the common and sensible approach, but in an online version space it not an issue. Readability would be enhanced if one did not need to wonder what 'Ch. of E.' might mean. And spelling out abbreviated words is in no way an alteration of the content, it would seem.\r\n\r\nI suggest to discuss this among the editors of the online version; and then - sooner rather than later - get this approved by the editors of the print version. I'd be happy to write to them if we decided to pursue this.\r\n\r\nBest,\r\nUte\r\n"}}
