Using abbreviations in essays

    Hi guys, just a simple question here. With History coming up tomorrow, I'll have an awful lot of writing to do. It gets really annoying having to write out words and names such as "Cumann na nGaedhael" over and over again, so do you any of you know if its alright to simply abbreviate it to "CnaG", if I make it clear that that's what it stands for? Or would I possibly lose marks in any way?
    Thanks!

    As long as you imply that's what you mean. I'd suggest writing Cummann na nGaedhael (CnaG) the first time and just CnaG then on in!

    Alright cheers, Irish names can be such a bitch to write out, especially when you're going for 3/4+ pages. :p I'm doing the exam in Irish as well which is "fun". :pac:
