fuzzy_dragonfly Posted January 24, 2009 Report Share Posted January 24, 2009 Somehow I keep reading this abbreviation as Humpback!!! Appologies, I have nothing to say elsewhere and wanted to contribute . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
splendidbetta Posted January 24, 2009 Report Share Posted January 24, 2009 :confused: Whenever I see betta abbreviations, I read them as they are instead of what they mean, i.e. "HMPK" is always H M P K to me. Is that how you guys interpret it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuzzy_dragonfly Posted January 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2009 NO , It'd be a mouthful if I wanted to say DDRDTCTPK!!! or or maybe just mongrel betta would suit it if it has more than 4 letters . Or even better still, designer betta 8) like a designer dog . LOL . I've been a bit off colour lately and stuck in bed....I needed something to talk about besides attacking people on facebook .

Sara_01 Posted January 24, 2009 Report Share Posted January 24, 2009 I'm with Stefan, when talking to other people about them I also tend to refer to bettas as 'P K's or 'H M's rather than plakats or halfmoons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Callatya Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 I do the same, buyt I tend to mentally convert the abbreviations into real works when I'm talking to people in person. Strangely, I don't often do that for DT, VT or CT, perhaps because they are quite short and snappy already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canfeleq Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 (edited) I seem to be half and half, HMPK for example, to me is Half Moon PK.... and so on. Hope you're feeling better soon Edited January 25, 2009 by Canfeleq Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuckie Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 I see and say the abbreviations as the full words. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fuzzy_dragonfly Posted January 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 I'm better now thanks. I know it's silly, but it's funny how people interpret abbreviations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
