Hi!
 
I'm in total agreement with your sentiments. All this all started ages ago and I'm mystified to know why it's reached this stage. While it makes things a bit quicker to type, it takes a lot longer to decipher the message. I think it  would be a lot easier on everyone, if the bird or what ever, was fully named first and then the abbreviation of that name was used thereafter. 
 
Cheers!
Bob Rusk
 
Ps I believe I previously wrote something on this subject concerning a Brown Unidentified Mamma versus a Brown Unidentified Myna and the difficulty in abbreviating the same.
