Who's bright idea was it to expand every acronym? And then have the acronym itself in brackets after it? Doesn't that completely kill the purpose? :wtf:


EDIT - Hurm. It looks loik AE removed all of them. Jolly good.

I don't see the problem with them, but since they have been removed, it doesn't matter anymore.

Also, congrats on the thread title. :D

Check the history of a canon ship and you'll see.

In retrospect, there were two very good reasons for me to leave it as it was in acronym form.

1. It's not canon. It's probably canon, but :v: hasn't confirmed it, so it isn't.
2. Using one page to keep all the acronyms (INFR1 does that with the Inferno Short Hand article) might be better.

Of course, the fact that Snail, of all people, would raise this up on IRC, also prompted me to revert the changes... :nervous:

Oh you still believe in fairy tales like Santa, the Easter Bunny, and free market competition principles?
