PeopleSoft-变量函数命名规则
常见的英文单词缩写提炼方法有三：
- 开始部分法
把一个单词的开头几个字母当做该单词的缩写。比如 hippopotamus 缩写为hippo，different缩写为diff，这也是linux的一个命令，elementary缩写为elem等等。
- 去掉元音法
去掉单词中的元音字母a, e, i, o, u. 这种方法适合那些既不太长也不太短的单词，去掉元音后的缩写仍然可辨认可读出。例如quality缩写为qlty, teacher缩写为tchr，school缩写为schl，progress缩写为prgrss等等。
- 首尾字母法
只有一个音节的词可以通过提取第一个字母和最后一个字母的方法来缩写。例如mount缩写为mt，land和load都缩写为ld，girl缩写为gl等等。
对于多个单词的短语或者常用语可以是：
- 单词首字母法
提取每个单词的首字母。例如As Soon As Possible缩写为ASAP，By The Way缩写为BTW，Oh My God 缩写为OMG， NotApplicable缩写为NA，For YourInformation缩写为FYI等等。
