Bookmark or Share- abbreviations - Which one is correct: Id or ID? - English Language ...To me, the 1st one ("Id") is correct, as "Id" and "ID" are abbreviations of "identifier". The correct one is "Id". "ID" appears to be an acronym of two words, though there is only one word, "identifier". Can anyone please shed some light on the issue? ID can be a shortened form of other words/phrases besides identifier.
- difference - I'd sooner/I'd rather/I'd prefer - English Language ...1. No, there are no useful differences at all. If you really minded, you might distinguish those as. I'd sooner we travelled by plane. I'd rather that we travelled by plane. I'd prefer it if we travelled by plane. Most people would never notice, let alone use the difference. Share.

- Different forms of the abbreviations for "identification"?Both the NOAD and the OED report that ID is an abbreviation for identity, identification. They weren't carrying any ID. I lost my ID card. The term id is used in psychoanalysis, and Id is a variant spelling of Eid. In some contexts, id could be understood as ID, for example in the phrase the user id used when talking of a CMS.
- “Senior” and “Junior” suffixes on ID cards and passports@Catija - The question is asking about all ID cards, not just passports, so I suppose it could be considered a legitimate "western English-speaking culture" question. – J.R. ♦ Commented Oct 3, 2017 at 21:26
- grammatical number - Is the plural form of ID spelled ID's or ID ...Yes, it can depend on the style guide you're using, but since you're clearly not using a style guide, the plural of cat is cats, and the plural of ID is IDs. Simple as that. There is no reason to even consider an apostrophe. It conveys no additional information that the simple -s does not. As to "how to tell", what do you mean?
