T names for the 21st century

[Phil]

OK, se we are all pretty much IT and text savvy these days and thanks to @CrypticSpider following another fantastic picture thread of his, he got me thinking, what is the best "text speak" for our beloved Ts.
Here is Crypticspiders contribution that I have stolen with pride....(hope he doesn't mind....LOL):
Mbal4i ( M. Balfouri)

OK, some ground rules...
1 No 2 letter acronyms as that's just lazy
2 Must use either the scientific or the common name for he basis of the text speak conversion

Let's see what we can come up shall we ☺

I don't use "text speak". So, for me I just type the species names.

Old-school. Get with the times.

The only text speak I use is lol or whatever, to indicate amusement. It cuts down on smiley faces, which I've been told i use too much. But then I notice myself using lol too much, and when I re read the post I'm thinking, damn, did I laugh that much ? I did not. It looks goofy, lol, you know? rofl. See? I prefer the smilies. But w8 m8, let me think on it..maybe I can come up with something..

 

[CrypticSpider]

I only use this for my pic titles. For example: "fBr8m".

Brachypelma auratum.

I'm not old school, I am just not lazy enough to abandon conventional grammar.

Never! They are beautiful the way they are. How did one improve perfection?

I've been on this site all day... I agree with Scoolman, I tend to type everything out. Of course I've done this so much my phone remembers them for me.

Binomial Nomenclature, with over 900 species, it is the only way to avoid confusion and species mixups.

I agree with this 100%. I avoid common names as much as possible.

@Scoolman - he who said "It's my way or the highway" is the one who told me: Never use common names! If you are in a discussion, using binomial nomenclature ensures an exact subject, no doubts about what genus/species is being discussed.

Wise words, and I adhere to it.

I learn mine as I get one, and try not to misspell it, sometimes though things are just fun to do ^^

my son had to teach me how to say it correctly. I still can't spell it right most the time.
