A couple of interesting Japanese abbrieviations I've noticed:
ワイシャツ (waishatsu - white collared shirt) is often written as Yシャツ.
W is often interpreted as "ダブル" (daburu - double), so you'll often see things like Wチーズバーガー (chi-zu ba-ga-), meaning "double cheeseburger".
Now if you'll excuse me, I'm off to drop my Yシャツ at the drycleaner and pick up a Wチーズピザ (chi-zu piza - cheese pizza) for dinner.
