    I'd use ibu but my phone corrects to ibuprofen. Most I avoid -- just fyi.

    I'm too old for condensed literature.
    My eyes & brain need all the information they could get at my age for something to make sense.

    People use "misnomer" all the time when they mean "misconception," which is doubly ironic: they're using the more specific and slightly rarer word where it doesn't belong, while also demonstrating their own misconception about how misnomer is used. :wink:

    I would humbly submit to you as my beer nerd friend that any reference to 3F in Northern Indiana in beer nerd circles is Floyds. IJS.

    We could all just type out the words and make everyone feel included & welcome.

    Just one idiot's opinion.

    BBBASCDCBMS=Bulleit Bourbon Barrel Aged Salted Caramel Dark Chocolate Brownie Milk Stout, as seen in PIVO Old Balltown BBBASCDCBMS. I'm undecided as to whether I'd rather type it out or use the acronym abbreviation.

    I'm surprised nobody mentioned the lingo used in the trade forums. Posts can literally be just a bunch of acronyms:

    ISO: KBBS, KBS, CBS, DBVSOD
    FT: B2, J, SNPA, PBJS, PtE, BDCS, BCBS,

    PM me.


    I'm like what? At least in the example above there is an actual word spelled out whole: "me".
