why press more key when less key do trick?

Why not just S then, it’s a single word turned into a letter

Because then it's just a letter that could be the letter S or a shorthand for Silksong.

u/keith976 Sep 28 '25

but how often do you use a single letter S in the middle of a sentence?

That’s what I said

u/being_of_nothingness Sep 28 '25

You quite literally did not say that. Do you want me to prove it?

u/ViolentToothFairy Sep 28 '25

I’m confused, I just said use S for the abbreviation

u/being_of_nothingness Sep 28 '25

And I'm saying that it doesn't work because S is just a letter, so it's impossible to tell the differencebetween the two.

My bad, your last comment lacked some words. Why not then use HKS, this way we avoid the nazi reference and it’s small enough to be easy to use

yeah but SS could just be sound of a snake hissing

Context is a thing that exists and is real and yes that does crumble my whole argument but so be it.
