Acronyms
« on: January 07, 2021, 06:51:51 am »
If the major initials of an entities' name form a viable combination of letters, then NPCs and perhaps legends (UI too?) should refer to them via acronym in contexts where brevity or simplicity is more important than detail.
for example, "Painlifts the Auspicious Might of Oceans" could be referred to simply as P.L.A.M.O. by residents.

What about portmanteau words such as "brunch" (breakfast + lunch)?
