11 de ago. de 2011 · Because "circa" is used to mean approximately in dates and measures, people would naturally use it to mean approximately even outside of dates and measures, partly due to ignorance of the fact that "circa" is used only for dates and measures, and partly out of inconsideration of the rules of usage.
“Ca.” è sicuramente corretta. Se può servire una pezza d'appoggio, nel Nuovo manuale di stile di Roberto Lesina (Zanichelli), a pag. 191 viene data proprio come esempio di quel tipo di abbreviazioni costituite «da una contrazione che conserva lettere iniziali e lettere intermedie o finali del termine, sempre seguit[e] dal punto».
