: Why do they use Hon’able instead of Honorable

Question

I mean, it’s simple and I think the pronounciation is the same then why not just use one of them ?

Answer 1

It’s Hon’ble.
Just a short form, as you can see it saves space for other text.

Hon’ble has 7 characters, while Honourable has 10 characters. Obviously the name of the person cannot be shortened, so the titles are.

Edit: typo

Answer 2

Just wondering when did anyone use hon’able?

I actually haven’t seen that before therefore I’m curious.
