I split off the discussion of abbreviations in general. You're welcome to continue discussing GURPS-specific abbreviations in this thread (which I moved because it's a GURPS-specific topic).

They needed to go. When they got rid of them, I knew they had made the right decision, because I liked them.

lemme explain. There is a class of things I like knowing because it's arcane knowledge.

I liked THAC0, I liked pre-6th edition Magic:the Gathering Batch Timing rules, I like HERO power construction.

I consider as superior: Attack Bonus+Roll >= AC, 6th ed and post M:tG Stack Timing, and M&M2e power construction.

I liked GURPS book abbreviations, I recognize as superior spelling out book titles.
