在一些 form 或 document 中看到的 initials 欄位是什麼意思?

When you're asked to initialize. Initials means the first letter of your first name and the first letter of your last name. So if I write my name this way "Marian A Rivera", my initials would be "MAR". So if my name is just "Marian Rivera", it would just be "MR". If my name is "John Wang", it would be "JW".

When you make a mistake in your checkbook, you have to initial your mistake. Let me say you want to send me four thousand dollars and you just write there four hundred dollars on your checkbook. And I say, No! we agree it's four thousand. and you have to initial it. Means you did it, you make a mistake. so put your initial.

When you make a mistake in any document. This is the American way. Put your initials and put the correct one. Some companies are very strict they don't let you do that. But some places, like in your check book, you can do that. If you make a mistake when you're writing a check for your bills. You can initial. You can save money by not getting another check.
