The short written form of Wyoming, one of the American states. You will only meet this in writing, where space is tight — on an address label, in a table of state names, in an old book, on a form.

Wyoming, one of the American statesWyoming（美國的一州） the short written form這是它書面上的縮寫。You will only meet this in writing, where space is tight你只會在書面文字裡看到它，而且是空間有限的地方 — on an address label像地址標籤上, in a table of state names州名列表裡, in an old book舊書裡, on a form或是表格上。

Nobody says "Wyo." out loud; you read it and then say "Wyoming" in your head. The dot at the end is what tells you it is a shortened word, not a word of its own.

Nobody says "Wyo." out loud沒有人會把「Wyo.」唸出來; you read it and then say "Wyoming" in your head你看到它，心裡會唸成「Wyoming」。The dot at the end結尾那個句點 is what tells you it is a shortened word就是在告訴你，這是一個縮寫, not a word of its own不是它自己獨立的一個字。

These old-style state abbreviations were the normal way to write states before the postal service brought in the two-letter codes in 1963. Today the post office wants WY (two capital letters, no dot), and that is what you will see on modern mail.

These old-style state abbreviations were the normal way to write states這種舊式的州名縮寫是標準的書寫方式 before the postal service brought in the two-letter codes in 1963在1963年郵政單位推出兩個字母的州代碼之前。Today the post office wants WY現在郵局要求用WY (two capital letters, no dot)（兩個大寫字母，沒有句點), and that is what you will see on modern mail這也是你在現代郵件上會看到的寫法。

So Wyo. now feels a bit old-fashioned — you meet it in books, newspapers, footnotes, historical writing, and sometimes in the names of local businesses. Both forms are still perfectly understandable to any American.
