alawni  +  954482 Tue, 27 Oct 09 03:10 PM Dear experts How to abbreviate the plural form of the word 'century', that is, 'centuries'? For example, is this correct: '18th-19th cc."? I'm asking this question because I'm not able to find any abbreviation for this word's plural form in the dictionaries, and 'cc' which I used above has other meanings in the dictionaries (= cubic capacity, carbon copy; with a dote- chapters, but not 'centuries'.) So how to abbreviate this word? alawni Joined on Tue, Oct 27 2009 New Member 02 Plurals, Abbreviations, Spelling

	Mister Micawber  +  954760 Tue, 27 Oct 09 11:13 PM There is none that I know of.  I wouldn't abbreviate:  18th-19th centuries or 18th c - 19th c.
