Meaning of ac?

What does ac mean?

If someone writes "bank ac", does it mean bank account? Does everyone use ac as account?

How about acc? What does it mean?

Thanks

In BrE, it's usually abbreviated to "a/c" or similar. That can get confusing because "A/C" (capitalised) means "Air Conditioning" in some countries.

Bank a/c no = Bank account number

Where have you seen the abbreviation "acc"?

[goodstudent]

I saw acc in Does any know what acc means on msn ? - Yahoo! UK & Ireland Answers

So you've never actually seen it used? I wouldn't worry about words or abbreviations that you don't even know exist.

I come across acc when I was looking at what is ac.

In accounting, a/c is often used as an abbreviation for the word account, so I actually wonder if ac (without the /) is the same as a/c

[emsr2d2]

If I saw "Bank ac no", I would assume it meant "Bank account number", even without the slash in "a/c".

In the US, "acc" generally means "accessory". One will, for example, see "acc" above the key switch of an automobile. If the key is turned to "acc" the radio and other electrical items can be used but the engine cannot be started.

I think "acct" would be used for "account" in the US. Certainly not "a/c."

Is it common in your country that "ac" is the short form for "account"?

If I wrote "I have forgotten my user ac.", is it a common way of writing short form for account as "ac"?

[emsr2d2]

It's a common abbreviation but not when writing full sentences. In your example, we would write "I have forgotten my user account details". Note that you can't "forget your account". You might forget your account number, account username, account name, account password, account details etc.
