Is using the possessive 's correct in “the car's antenna”? "The town's hall" implies "town hall", a common phrase in the US, and there would indeed be only one. |

How to pronounce abbreviations by prefix part? I clarified my answer a bit. My point is that I generally would say the word in full, not the abbreviation, with a few exceptions. I don't know how coders talk about programming abbreviations, see Edward's answer for that. |
