    No way I could accommodate that.

    Each to their own, though.

    Agreed, one of my main interests is analogue electronics, which often gets abbreviated.

    In a former life I worked on 2 products called the Digital Troubleshooter and Analogue Troubleshooter. The first got abbreviated to Digi Troubleshooter...

    No wonder you articulated the pink / brown conundrum so well.

    Its strange but the company I do all my work for uses 4 letter block names - so for example the Digial core would be abbreviated to DIGI_core
    for some reason the Analog electrical blocks are always split so you never get just an Analog block so Analog Front end becomes ANFE never understood why the inconsistency

    In my old job we used the 4 letter abbreviation of ANALOGUE freely, although obviously not in customer-related contexts. The sniggers and giggles soon passed, but it was fun when we had a new starter :D

    It also occurs multiple times in software source code, variable/function names etc. I think the programmers did it on purpose...

    Our IT dept abbreviate Google Analytics to Google Anal.

    It almost feels like they're daring me to...

    According to the advert, all you need to do is "kick back and relax"...

    A Mr T Watson emailed our work email address last week and gave us all the giggles when the preview line we could see before clicking into the email said ‘you don’t often get emails from twát…’

    Having consumed countless curries over decades, with hindsight I probably could have benefited from using an Anal Troubleshooter from time to time.

    I work for a tracking company in the education sector and in the background database we have a table called “Assessment” so naturally this gets abbreviated to ass.

    A couple of years ago a school had their assessment codes of W, A and T so on a report where the codes were along the top with the year groups, it repeatedly said WATWATWATWAT. Always made me chuckle whenever I saw it.
