    I like abbreviations I can read out whenever possible, so ARC to me is better than ACN by a wide margin. Although I reference that so little that I think I just spell it out all the way rather than the abbreviation. Should be SMN or SCH at the point we are taking frequent repeats of use that justify needing an acronym, rather than ACN lol.

    What's archer? lol There is only bard.

    Funny to be reminded that's actually in the game. I don't think I've disused that in years. . (archer), no point to bring it up in normal conversations xD.

    Arcanist gets mentioned because of the whole SCH / SMN split thing.

    Maybe not the best example then but I still like ARC over ACN (yet clearly taken, by a relic of time ), or maybe another example in that I like PUG instead of PGL. BOT instead of BTN.

    Like if I was referring to Alchemist I'd be happy to use ALC but Carpenter never registers, at least in some natural way, as CRP. Crrrrppp. See.. Role play.. krr... paaah.. Honestly I'd probably prefer to call them CAR lol.

    NGL the mage ones i dont particularly like... i like that the mage ones are consistent throughout - WHM, BLM, RDM, I only wish they'd figure out how to make BLU more consistent with the other mages - maybe switch up black mage to BKM and Blue mage to BLM.
