Add finalized tag now that the sandbox can be filtered to exclude tags 
Abbreviate everything [released]
# Challenge

Make a program that takes input of a string and abbreviate it.

- All letters of an abbreviation are capitalized, so keep that in mind.
- Whitespace, numbers and non-English characters are ignored.
- If the inputted string is a paragraph (2+ sentences), the abbreviation will be split by spaces (` `) where `.`, `?` or `!` are, while commas (`,`) are ignored in this splitting scenario.
- Words that are connected by hyphens (`-`) will result to only one letter.
- The only non-alphabetical characters to remain in the result are colons (`:`) and semicolons (`;`).
- This is <a class="badge is-tag">code-golf</a>, so shortest program in each language wins.
