'Les Mis' is the correct version, as an abbreviation of the French word Miserables.
I don't think that "mis" is ever a "correct abbreviation" for the word "miserables." Only in Musical Theatre Land would that happen lol. I'm sure if I told a French speaker "Je suis mis" I'd just get a blank stare instead of sympathy. ;-) |
