>skarm, gatr, lop, dos, t-tar, bliss, ferro, clef, azu, cune, typh, lati, gross, gar, zam, zard, conk, chomp, garde, rachi, keld, lando, zone, talon, venu, aegi, aero, don, pdon, arc, rai, vire, kanga, ogre, mamo, mence, pert Why do people use these shitty abbreviations? Do they think they sound more "proffesional"? Because I don't see any reason to say "keld" instead of Keldeo. I'm guessing they want to be cool like that youtuber pokeaim that sounds like a nigger? Someone explain.

>>23607112 When you use certain terms a lot, you develop a shorthand to alleviate the repetitiveness. It's a part of language. Also, I don't know how you came to the conclusion that it's more professional, nor do I understand why when remaking your thread you left the word professional misspelled.

It's quicker to type "skarm" and it doesn't introduce any ambiguity or confusion, so there's really no problem.

>>23607160 But it's not easier.
I just realized "rachi" is Jirachi and it isn't the most retarded abbreviation. And some of them are not necessary because the names are already short or because they only remove two letters. I'd say it's more confusing.

>>23607215 Rachi is weird, and I don't think many actually use that, but the Skarm example at least works because "Skarmbliss" was a common abbreviation back in gen3

>slang >1. a type of language that consists of words and phrases that are regarded as very informal, are more common in speech than writing, and are typically restricted to a particular context or group of people It's just slang/jargon, it's not "professional," just shorthand that most people in this "group of people" understand.
