Here's a request to everyone: LLW could be Li Lingwei or Limited Lifetime Warranty or Malawi's Lilongwe Airport. SS could be Susi Susanti or Simon Santoso (or Super Series). In our posts, let's please use full names (or terms) instead of acronyms at least on the first mention. It's not because we cannot understand who is being referred to. It's because, later, when someone searches for Susi Susanti, your post won't show up to educate them.
Is there a list of acronyms somewhere I'm missing? If not, it would be a very good idea to have one handy, since this thread seems to be permanently ignored.
Alright, I'll just start and amend this every time I read an acronym I resolve: AJ Ajay Jayaram AT Ayaka Takahashi AP Ashwini Poonappa AY Akane Yamaguchi BOMO Mathias Boe/Carsten Mogensen BP Boonsak Ponsana BSP B.

I am with Oldhand. Even though acronyms are ok, we should make an attempt to use the player's fullname.
With the last update, we've now reached 100 acronyms! As before, feel free to contribute in order to enable everyone to understand many of the threads here.

Thanks! I've updated the big list. It's quite handy to follow discussions when you're not acutely aware of every single entry in the tournament.
@phihag Maybe useful to add : AG Asian Games AJC Asia Junior Championships BATC Badminton Asia Team Championships (Men's and Women's Team Championships) BAMTC Badminton Asia Mixed Team Championships BCA Badminton Confederation of Africa CC Continental Confederation (Federation of national associations.
