'''Haplography''' (from Greek: haplo- 'single' + -graphy 'writing') is the act of writing once what should be written twice. For example, the English word ''idolatry'', the worship of idols, comes from the [[Greek language|Greek]] ''eidololatreia'', but one syllable has been lost through haplography. Other examples are "endontics" for "[[endodontics]]", and "[[voraphilia]]" for "vorarephilia".

There are various instances of conventionalized haplography in English. For example, the normal punctuation mark for a declarative sentence in English is a [[full stop]]. However, if a declarative sentence ends with a word that is abbreviated with a [[Full stop|period]] (etc., Ltd., or Inc.), the sentence-final punctuation mark is omitted. This is clear by comparison with other sentence types, such as interrogative or exclamatory sentences, where the punctuation is not reduced at the end.

* Who wrote the novel ''Lies, Inc.''?
* So, it was Philip K. Dick who wrote the novel ''Lies, Inc.''!
