This time my armor was heavily inspired by Elden Ring, including the cerulean and crimson flasks.

I’ve named this iteration Astor the Tarnished.

    I guess my beef is not with the abbreviations, but more with the fact that short versions completely replace long ones. I can’t recall the last time I heard someone say words like mayonnaise or influenza.

      Or brassiere, or automobile, or cellular telephone, or taximeter cabriolet, or tarpaulin, etc.

      This is just how language works.

        Ok, that’s a good one. I think I might have fallen down with the good old bias: everything before my time is antique and everything newer than my time is an abomination. Thanks for slapping some sense into the old grumpy guy :)
