[quote=Webslark;39958747]No no no no!!!! Not SUPPOSED to be elitist. (maybe just a happy coincidence) Just that as the current stories are so often referred to, it is more common to abbreviate them.
Who are you calling common?

I'm pretty okay when it comes to the abbriviations of DW - but that's a great list. For some reason, I'm loving the fact that you've alphabatized it.

As for alphabetizing, it seemed logical (captain
