Poll What abbreviation do you prefer?

[Spider]

DIS if I like the show, STD if I don't.

 

[Spot's Meow]

Definitely DSC. Not STD, because aside from the crude acronym, we don't call Voyager STV. And not DIS, because all I can think of when seeing that acronym is Disney (big Disney fan here). And DSC and DIS are the 3-letter abbreviations used in TV listings for Discovery and Disney respectively.

I thought of the Disney reference too. My first thought on seeing "DIS" is the disboards.

 

[Peter_R]

DIS is for me the simpliest way to abbreviate the word Discovery. DSC is just like picking a letter here and there in the word. And as many has sadi before - VOY/ENT is the established abbreviations for the respective series, and DIS is perfect with this.

VGR is *also* an established abrreviation for Voyager.

DSC.

Not even close. Go blame Alec Peters and his Axanar cronies.

STD cracks me up, but I'll probably end up using DSC.

You're fighting a battle that was lost about five minutes after TNG was announced.

Does anyone remember when they started calling it TOS? I feel it was more like the late 90s, since I recall it also being called "Classic" for a while in the early/mid 90s. Maybe when the first DVDs were released?

STD is hilarious, thus it will ultimately be what people call it.

Exactly.

 

[DaddlerTheDalek]

DSC

 

[Tim Walker]

I think I prefer DSC.

STD would be apalling

 

[The Mighty Monkey of Mim]

STD is hilarious

I'd say the joke was played out within the first 24 hours.

 

[Xhiandra]

DSY

Dude, this is Star Trek fandom. There are people still not over lens flares in 2009.

ST : Disco - Live Long & Boogie oggie woogie 'till ya' just can't boogie no mooooreeee, boogie no moooooreeee, boogie...

No holodeck, but a roller disco called "Zanadu"

 

[RAMA]

They always used DSC for the Discovery channel and for the space shuttle. Sounds fine with me.

 

[Grendelsbayne]

I voted for DIS because DSC just looks and sounds wrong (and is too close to DS9). However, once I saw it I much preferred the later suggestion for DISC, so that's probably the one I'll use.

 

[Tosk]

I prefer (and have already started using) DISC too. It may be four letters, but it's still just the first syllable which suits me fine.

 

[Wbino]

DSC.

Not buying that.
If CBS only had a problem with Axanar they would have only come down on them.
You think a coincidence that a new series was coming out and they broad stroked ALL fan films?
But this is not the correct thread for further discussion.
