Who wants to see the word "Campy" obliterated on this forum?

If someone types it into their message, it should automatically come out as "Campagnolo" after it's posted. I gather the mods can do this in their settings to prevent unwanted words to appear in posts.

I'm sure I'm not the only one.
 
I would love to see this removed myself, as well as all the other inane short forms of people's names: like 'Nago, Pin, Pog, Pug. If it is company name that is not based on a family name, I don't see the harm in shortening the name but find it disrespectful to the family if the family name is used.

Besides, campy has a very distinct meaning that does not at all correspond to the Campagnolo.
 
Can we also add abominations like 'brifters', 'shimergos' and so on to this?
Brrrr, they set my teeth on edge...
 
I can't stand it when people say "campy", "campa" and especially "gruppo" when they're not Italian - it's GROUPSET!
 
Its not the abbreviation I dislike , it's the Americanism. Campag is fine.
Can we ban spinning as well please. It should be twiddling.
Fender's are things ships use or they sit in front of fires.
 
:LOL: Noted. In the interim why don't you come up with the 10 Commandments of vintage parlance.
