Poll: What will the abbreviation of Private Conversation be? :)

[Vincent]

Since the abbreviation for Private Message is PM, I was thinking, what would the abbreviation for Private Conversation be? 'PC' is Personal Computer, so let's see what we think

Feel free to choose, I'm going for 'Convo'

 

[Greg]

I believe that it will persist as PM, personally.

 

[Onimua]

Initials can mean several things, it's just the context in which they're spoken about that identifies what they refer to. I see no problem with using PC.

 

[Ryan Ashbrook]

PM.

The Message is part of the Conversation, so it still works to say "I received a Private Message."

 

[Lucas]

I'd still go for the good old PM.

 

[Vincent]

I forgot that option yeah

 

[James]

PM will still work, you effectively receive a message (from the conversation) and not the conversation.

I will continue to use PC though, it just goes to show how advanced XF is compared to the old software that still uses PM systems *walks away with nose in the air*

 

[Forsaken]

I'm going to use convo, just because anything else would be confusing due to the naming, or the abbreviations.

 

[Peggy]

We've been using PC, altho I have used convo a couple of times.

That confused me at first, and it still makes me think of personal computer.

 

[Wired]

convo = convoy... 10-4 good buddy...

 

[Brandon_R]

PC is already catching on.

PC is also "politically correct" so I'd suggest PeCo...

All logic becomes lost when it comes to internet abbreviations. I have a feeling PC will catch on.

Hey, send me a PC.

Agreed, although:

 

[Wired]

Um... what about... Yo, they hit me up on the Flipside? Nah, never mind. You'd have to deal with Master Blaster if you did that...

Yes, I watched that back in the day lol...

 

[Nick]

If I say, "I sent you a PC," I'd hope you know that I sent you a message, not a personal computer.

I have a feeling that common forum-goers (aside from those of us who are seasoned administrators) will use the term PM regardless of what it's called in XenForo.

 

[Lucas]

Yeah, I don't think I'd use PC even if it was the standard, whenever I see PC to me for many many years it has just been Personal Computer, the opposite of a Mac. ;P

 

[Anthony Parsons]

PC = Politically Correct

PC pisses me off, so I hope its not that.

Not PC, Wintel LMFFAO!
