[QUOTE="Jutter, post: 83657, member: 1897"] Not gonna happen! Won't do it! I flat out refuse. Have me waterboarded by the CIA, my nuts roasted by the Taliban... it won't work. Even if you threaten to put me on a Paula Deen diet, I will remain calling pinballtables by their full friggin' name. A scenario where one would have to memorize truckloads of initialisms, in order to decypher communication, in order to ([i]shudders[/i]) fi... f... BLUCH!! [b]fit in[/b]. Sorry, I threw up in my mouth a little there. This is a scenario I won't contribute or cater to. The Internet Pinball DataBase is currently sporting 5,672 games. Even if a mere 10% of those were worth mentioning, that would still be an insane amount of initialisms to decrypt. Even the relatively puny Pinball Arcade with it's collection of 32 titles and growing, is slowely but surely wandering into that territory where persistent use of initialisms becomes obnoxious. What is this, an arcade or a @*#$!! millitary base? Okay, I feel better now. [/QUOTE]
