TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
That's correct, but hardly user friendly. T'put is absolutely ghastly - but semantically clear in my context.
But joking aside, what about "Thr.put", "Thr put" or "Th put"? We also use things like "Tx Power", "Rx Power" or just Tx and Rx in the same context.
The Project Manager just advised me that I don't come up with something quickly, it will be T'put - and so it will appear on my work record and my CV like an albatross around my neck until the end of my career ... and horrors, an end to my T'put?

Subject: Re: throughput
Throughput is measured by volume/time. You would shorten it not by
abbreviating "throughput" but by using the proper shorthand notation
for the volume and time. For example, bits per second would be bit/s
or bps (accepted industry standards).
Whatever you're measuring, there's an accepted shorthand for the throughput.
