[Ondskapsmannen]

I'm new to this forum and I think there is really too much use of abbreviations here.

I have read all the books and seen all the episodes, but if a post is full of abreviations it takes ages to read because of having to figure out what everything really means.

[Lord Duncan]

The list is a good reference for old posts,but as many have said before, acronyms shouldn't be overused since it might make a simple text much harder to read, specially for new people in the forums (like myself )

Common sense would say that a word shouldn't be abbreviated the first time its used, unless it's extremely obvious. So first spell it out and then if you need to use the word again, abbreviate it That way anyone can understand what you write, and we don't have retype every long word or sentence

Oh, by the way, I loved the Otaku Assemble reference! hahaha

This might be the best of the GRRM-related abbreviations:
