#3 In many European countries the word for "car" is "auto". In Scandinavia the word for "car" is "bil". Both "auto" and "bil" are short versions of "automobil".

OK = Oll Korrect??

NOBODY KNOWS!! Some theories include that it comes from an abbreviation fad that began in Boston in 1838 when humorists began using exaggerated misspellings. Some have suggested the term goes further back and is of Choctaw Indian and/or West African origin.
