@Flick Tele is just Greek for "far", so I guess it can be spelt either way. - KeepTakingTheSoma likes this.

@RadicalCartoons @Flick It's a Greek/Latin hybrid coining. Nothing wrong with *telly* as the abbreviation.
Interesting that we abbreviate television to telly, but telephone (another Greek/Latin hybrid word) to 'phone.
Not sure there is an abbreviation of telescope. -
