I received a book today. (The pile grows.) The full title is The Euro and the Dollar in a Globalized Economy. However, the space on the mailing label was limited. It proclaimed "The Euro and the Dollar in a Glob".

My favorite misabbreviation is for the financial firm Friedman Billings Ramsey (NYSE: FBR), which often is spelled out, inexplicably, as "Fried Bill Rams":
