(btw - the exact opposite is true over on the baseball board - but their reaction to someone using softball nomenclature on that board is a LOT more negative and vitriol-filled than what you got here).

If you use the wrong shorthand, some of your responses will use "your" shorthand, and others will use softball shorthand, and confusion and chaos will set in. We've all seen it - a lot. This is why you're being asked to use typical softball shorthand.
I'm not missing the point. I am literate and understand the point. I just don't agree with the significance you place on it. My language was clear. No one responding had issues submitting intelligent answers. And no one asked me to use other abbreviations. Your definition of a request is different than mine.
