Globalization, Internationalization, Localization, Translation... These terms are just too long to write more than once!

Many people have felt the same way and have therefore started to abbreviate terms like this:

• Globalization => G11n
• Internationalization => I18n
• Localization => L10n
• Translation => T9n

You might notice the pattern: [first letter] + [number of letters in between the first and last letter] + [last letter].

G  l o b a l i z a t i  o   n
G [1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11] n
G11n

We want to create a function Abbreviatize that takes a single parameter of type string, which returns the abbreviated form of the input string.

Keep in mind that we want to make a shorter version of the word, so if the word is The, there's no point in abbreviating it to T1e. In that case, we just want to return the word that was passed in.

Some examples:

Abbreviatize("Globalization") => "G11n"
Abbreviatize("Scherpenhuizen") => "S12n"
Abbreviatize("Four") => "F2r"
Abbreviatize("The") => "The"
Abbreviatize("A") => "A"
