Ban long words? Ridiculous.
SARS-Coronavirus-2 is actually the name for the Coronavirus, so stop shortening the names, @CallumPrecious1 !
Abbreviations have always existed. There is nothing wrong with it. They exist in ALL languages.
Can you imagine calling Bangkok by it's actual name?
Krung Thep Mahanakhon Amon Rattanakosin Mahinthara Ayuthaya Mahadilok Phop Noppharat Ratchathani Burirom Udomratchaniwet Mahasathan Amon Piman Awatan Sathit Sakkathattiya Witsanukam Prasit.
Translated, roughly to : "
The City of Gods, the Great City, the Residence of the Emerald Buddha, the Impregnable City (of Ayutthaya) of God Indra, the Grand Capital of the World Endowed with Nine Precious Gems, the Happy City Abounding in Enormous Royal Palaces Which Resemble the Heavenly Abode Wherein Dwell the Reincarnated Gods, a City Given by Indra and Built by Vishnukarm.”
I'll stick to Bangkok or Krung Thep, thankyouverymuch!
