The ABC

When we mean the fundamental aspects, we have a tendency to use the expression 'the ABCD', which is not considered good English. It should be 'the ABC'. Suppose you want to state that Abhishek does not know the basics of Arithmetic, then you can say it this way: 'Abhishek does not know the ABC of Arithmetic'.
