Abbreviations reduce the number of letters used to express words, yes, but often require a greater computational labour to interpret. Since in cyberspace letters have no intrinsic mass, nothing is really being wasted by avoiding uncommon abbreviations, whereas the caloric energy consumed by the brain to interpret "Apr" instead of the instant, sight reading of "April" is counterproductive if your intentions are generally in the way of preventing waste, rather than simply trying to give your writing a specious look of originality. No?
