Doctrine and Covenants: A say-all title
Of all the titles of the Church's Standard Works, no name suffers such a frequent slight as does the Doctrine and Covenants.
In writing and in speech, the Doctrine and Covenants is often one of the most abbreviated phrases in our acronym-happy Church, with the sacred volume often identified simply as "D&C" or even by some as "D.C."
Other Standard Works are never abbreviated as routinely -- nary an H.B. for Holy Bible (although O.T. and N.T. for Old Testament and New Testament are sometimes used), B.O.M. for Book of Mormon or the cumbersome POGP for the Pearl of Great Price.
