@chalfie, no one complained when I was calling Andre Villas-Boas, AVB, if I'm going to be using someone's name a lot of times I reserve the right to shorten, and/or give them a nickname to make it more fun to do so.
In terms of my name, you should be saying Corny, rather than my given name, since I don't use that on here, and I have no problems with people shortening it from Cornelius Blackfoot to Corny. That's what people do.
If you have an issue with those who are currently battering to death the two letter abbreviation, the band wagon jumpers, the it's a laugh because it winds @chalfie up, the I don't know why I'm doing it but everyone else is, then I would say you need to take it up with them.
