What is the word for this? (ENGLISH QUESTION)?

Sorry about the question mark but you know why it must be there.

Anyways, what is that one word where when you do not spell a certain word out the way it is but you just use shortcuts? FOR EXAMPLE

instead of putting the number 10, I would decide to actually spell it out: t-e-n.

What’s that called?

Thanks <3

Answer #1

…Phonetically is NOT correct. That refers to the sounds used to pronounce words.

Spelling out the word ten is NOT a shortcut to writing the number 10, so what the hell is your question? It doesn’t even make sense.

Answer #2

ummm, I think its called - write in letters- but I agree, when you find out please contact me!

Answer #3

Well I do not know the exact name of what you’re talking about but I do know that what you’re talking about is similar to Abbreviations.

Answer #4

I’m thinking phonetically.

Answer #5

I’m looking for an answer like this

“That is called spelling something out _“ (I’m pretty sure this word is an ADVERB and it ends with -ly”

Answer #6

its phonetically im pretty sure.
