    I have never seen anyone abbreviate it like that before. Let's not do that.

      1) Let’s not prescribe language-use on the web instead. Something that originates in one place does not always stay in one place. How does that sound?

      2) It’s abbreviated in every single thread on the sub in which it originated: https://www.reddit.com/r/changemyview/

      3) Now that you have seen it and received the explanation, you will recognize it and can be the messenger in the future.

        1) I think word use is an ongoing process and sometimes I want to participate in that negotiation.

        2) Showing that a phrase is abbreviated on the specific subreddit named after that phrase is one of the least convincing arguments possible for general use of that abbreviation.

        3) I could, but that doesn't sound like something I particularly want to happen.
