Pp is the abreviation for page number?

[nq:1]What is the full name of "pp."? Like pp.356 Thanks[/nq]
The abbreviation "pp" stands for "pages". A single page is shown as "p". So "pp.356" shoudl be "p.356", but "pp.356-7" would be correct.

The abbreviation "pp." properly stands for "pages". It is the plural of "p.". Thus, the example you give is incorrect; it should be "p. 356".
Similarly, in biology, "spp." is the plural of "sp." for species. As a unit of measure, "bbl" used to be the plural of "bl" for "barrel", but now it is used for both singular and plural.

And "c." is the (AmE) abbreviation for "cup" as used in recipes, so "cc." must b

Not if there isn't a space between the period and the page number, it wouldn't.

Do you have a (credible) source for that? Most of the sources I ran into the last time I looked into this seemed to argue that the first "b" stood for "blue".

[nq:1]And "c." is the (AmE) abbreviation for "cup" as used in recipes, so "cc." must be "cups"...much hilarity ensued on an episode of "Laverne & Shirley" when someone made such an assumption..r[/nq]
Speaking of Laverne and Shirley , don't rewboss and Professor Redwine remind you a little bit of Lenny and Squiggy (not sure which is which, though)?

Nah. I'm just trying to decide which is which... I think I would have to take Squiggy, names not withstanding. As for the others, I leave rewboss to decid

What, as in 'Smith & Wesson bright blue', meaning 'shiny black'?
