Still a shortened, cheat version of the full word legitimate Arista. Stop being lazy and cheating.

Mods, can we ban legit too, keep Arista happy with his endeavour to ensure no one cheats please?

Its been the same since 2006
No Rule Break.

And there hasn’t been a crackdown on abbreviations or shortened words, so what’s the problem here?

You are not allowed to refer to it as USA, it is the United States of America or nothing at all.

CHEAT.

Typical Leavers' tactics, they lose argument over brexit so they attack somewhere else. Surprised Arista didn't call "bc" unpatriotic

Surely it doesn’t constitute as text language though. I only ever use Tibb on my phone so it is a bit ridiculous that this even is a rule
