  • Sorry bout this pet peeve but

    it's so hard or time consuming to type out our players, committed players, and Coach's first, last, or a combo of both first and last names? Honestly, I thought we were better than this.
    We should use their first and/or last names.

        Like we some people talk about Aaron Ellis or Clevin Hannah, they call them AE or CH respectively. or just look at FSF's posts.

          While Hotel's composition is awful, I suspect I know his complaint.

          Hotel prefers that posters do not use initials to refer to players and coaches.

          I agree. It can be annoying.

                So what do you recommend we use?

                Some names have slightly confusing spellings, or take time to type out. I'd prefer to see BM instead of ANOTHER person typing out Brett Michael. Yes, that really is MY pet peeve.

                What do you recommend instead? Jersey numbers? First names? Last names? Please, provide a solution when you complain.

                  I did say in my original post that we should use first, last or a combination of both names.

                    hey, its the interwebs...everbody does it...though i must admit that i'm one of the guys that still types the names out...however, i've mostly given up on capital letters and my punctuation is atrocious...maybe my spelling too.

                      I guess the initials don't bother me, but what does are those AT&T ads where everyone just talks in text lingo ... I really really hate those.

                          OH---when you refer to FSF---could that be forevershockerfan?"

                            Does that mean nobody can refer to me as Sub or SG or SG22?
