how do you abbreviate profit or loss? P&L or P/L?
On one hand, there is no 'and' in 'profit or loss', so why use '&'?
On the other hand, it's 'P and L' in the abbreviation...

PS. some field benchmarks

PL

between accountants, yes PL or IS I'd say.
otherwise 'profit or loss account'
or anything in between.

We use PnL

Almost like 'P&L'

I'm almost always be using P&L

PnL or P&L gives the correct impression that one is looking at a combined concept

P/L gives the impression of a ratio (like C/I or P/E), which it is not. Not a problem if you know what it means, but good terminology should really explain itself

I like this point!
