why do people mis-pronounce names of systems

Looks like the sodding troll shows his true colors.

The only thing tempting me to leave this thread open
is the fact that it's not whining about bringing the old forum back.

But that's just not enough.

Well guys, It is with great discomfort that I welcome you to the first non-sensical thread of GBAtemp v4. XD

An abbreviation (from Latin brevis, meaning short) is a shortened form of a word or phrase. Usually, but not always, it consists of a letter or group of letters taken from the word or phrase. For example, the word abbreviation can itself be represented by the abbreviation abbr., abbrv. or abbrev.

the abbreviation of Gameboy Advance is GBA.
Playstation Portable is PSP.
Playstation 3 is PS3.
etc...

Saying the abbreviation out loud as opposed to the full name is not an incorrect use of language.
