abbreviations. it doesn’t save any meaningful time. it only prompts questions for clarification because people don’t define the abbreviation prior to using it throughout their post. plus since everything is being abbreviated out of laziness, the same abbreviations get used for multiple things which just adds additional confusions.
I’ve always followed a rule of which was popular first claims it. TF2 is Team Fortress 2, not Titanfall 2, DS2 is Dark Souls 2 not Death Stranding 2 etc etc.
If you gonna abbreviate, say its name in full first in the context, otherwise I’ll assume another!

that’s the only rule that should be followed with abbreviations
Yeah, that’s the best way, but with no context provided, I’ll fall back to the aforementioned.
The absolute worst version of this is shit like a16z or a11y. Ironically a11y is very inaccessible.
