I suggest CEA, and here's why
Posted By: RocksliderDate: 6/7/11 7:52 a.m.

In Response To: What should we call it? (Hyokin)


I suggest referring to it as CEA in community circles - or Anniversary if you ever want to kick off your abbreviation boots and luxuriate in an entire word. It does the job, it's got the iconic CE there which I think is nice, and the brevity makes it handy for inclusion in forum topic titles and elsewhere. If you're worried about the lack of an H at the start, it's not really needed in our community context and would make things more of a mouthful to pronounce.

As for one of the alternatives, H:A, I don't think it's such a good idea to have something with a colon in it. H:A is kind of clumsy to write, and in speech the colon presumably wouldn't even be represented; you'd just pronounce the two letters. As for the simpler alternative HA, unfortunately that clashes a bit too much with a real word I think.
