One of the things I do when writing or editing a recipe is making sure there is nothing in the text that would sound unnatural from my screen reader. I want JAWS to say 350 degrees, not dg350. I want to hear 9 by 13-inch pan, not 9 x 13" pan. Those are only a few examples. I do leave many abbreviations in the recipe, but I try to make other words sound more natural, I figure it could help other blind readers as well and sighted people wouldn't mind reading it that way either.

It takes up less space, I think is why they do it that way. It's just like the dg before the number of degrees.
