Wow some folks get really butthurt about abbreviations, huh?

You lost me though. So you are saying people in disc golf forums are more accepting of lazy nonsensical acronyms? Discraft is one word, why do you insist that we accept DC?

Ok just D then.

DC is a perfectly acceptable abbreviation for Discraft. There are a great many of things we abbreviate with just two letters that are one word.

Ihiwpawu.


I decided to abbreviate every word in the sentence, above, which states what I think about abbreviating words unnecessarily.

Don't bother going to the trouble of trying to figure out what it says, because I don't when you abbreviate.

 

[Jay Dub]

BBQ is a good abbreviation.

How about throw some d's on it? Does that mean throw some discraft on it or dynamic discs slogan.

How about my girlfriend pulled out my d cuz she likes the way it feels.

It doesn't take long to type the whole word and with auto correct it's even easier. The character count isn't limited on this site, so how about making the message clear instead of making other people guess what is intended.

[B The V]

Discraft's abbreviation should be "DR".

 

[JeCroisQue]

I think it was Simon who may have been moving to CO IIRC

Either way, Eagle lives in Colorado too.

I just don't know why people keep wasting words to tell other people they can't use "DC" for Discraft. Unlike just using "D" (which does have other meanings that people use on these forums), DC is perfectly understandable to those reading it. Every abbreviation doesn't need to be an acronym, and people have been using DC for Discraft on here for ages. I personally usually type out the full name because I'm on a computer keyboard, but why would it bother me if someone uses DC for Discraft? If "lazy" is the worst adjective you can find for a group of people on an Internet forum, then we've got a pretty great community here.

Wow, you threw everything in there but the miniature violins. Don't get me wrong, I don't think it's a lazy group of people, just a lazy abbreviation. You can't type out Discraft, but you have no problem typing out this humorless melodramatic response, lol.

Fine....BBQ....

Yeah I heard Paul say that too but it's weird that on his Instagram live when I asked Eagle about it, he said his contract was up at the end of this year. It also seems like if he did re-up, it wouldn't just be for one year at this point. But since all the other moves were leaked I would think there'd at least be some rumblings if he were going elsewhere.

I mean... I rumbled it back around #2653...
Hey look I nailed both Pauls and waiting on Ricky and Eagle

Does Discraft ever refer to themselves as DC? Asking for a friend.
