Is “thru” really a word or an abbreviation of “through”?

Thru is, IIRC, a bastardized form of “through.”

And 'yoni' and 'you' and 'ecru' and 'poi' and 'lei' and 'tofu' and 'ani' and a couple of dozen others.

You need to do more crossword puzzles, quite evidently. Then, likely, you wouldn't make such easily disproved generalisations about English/American spelling.
