Abbreviated commands are fine for manual interaction, but a good engineer puts the full commands into source code for discoverability and specificity. If I saw a teammate putting abbreviated commands into source code, I would ask them to change it to the full commands, and I would feel entitled to.

Also, how would we know if no one has died from this? The practice of abbreviating commands literally makes forensics more difficult to accomplish, making it harder to know.
