Introduction
As part of a presentation used internally in Bouvet on SAP Enterprise Portal I started collecting SAP specific abbreviations on this topic, and it's this list I would like to share with SDN community.
As you can see from the image below, it was quite difficult to fit them all on to a single powerpoint slide, but somehow I managed it. 
Of course I do not belive this is a complete list, and therefore I've created a forum thread where you can add other abbreviations and corrections: /thread/107057 [original link is broken].
