Acronyms!

I'm happy to say that the ZU forums will now complete acronyms for you! You can see it right in the last sentence: Hover over "ZU".

I've defined acronyms for the entire Zelda series, like... LoZ, AoL, tWW, tMC, TP, ST.

Are there any acronyms you guys would like to see added to the database? If not, just enjoy what's there

Re: Acronyms!

I noticed this earlier. There was one I saw that I thought should have been added, but I don't remember what it was.

Re: Acronyms!

I know we shouldn't make every little item/weapon into an acronym, but I'd be honored if the Biggoron Sword could have "BGS"

It's not a big deal but are the dots necessary?

Re: Acronyms!

As long as you don't label chatspeak acronyms, I think this is a great idea.

That's what browsers do with the HTML <acronym> tag. It's an HTML thing, not related to this plugin (which is actually vBSEO, the software that makes our nice URL's).

Re: Acronyms!

It's proper to use an apostrophe when pluralizing an acronym, you know. I dislike people who neglect the apostrophe.

Re: Acronyms!

I like this system. I just wish it had been in place before I learnt what all the acronyms meant!

Nope. The only time it's proper to pluralize an acronym with an apostraphe is when the acronym contains internal punctuation, or consists only of a single letter. For instance, the plural of Ph.D. is Ph.D.'s, but the plural of CD is CDs.
