Yah, and were I possessed to write about Tri-Elmaren, I expect I'd spell
out the monicker; but then I'm not the sort to ask, "how R U?" or
"drinks 2nite?" or whatever is even more compressed than that and
flies from cellphone to cellphone these days.
I got a Treo so I can easily type out actual words in text messages,
dammit!
I found it interesting, though, that I hadn't even noticed the "3 E"
abbreviation, because my mind was already familiar with it and performed
the substitution as it went in my eyeballs.
