While SwSh seemed to be the more popular acronym for these games since the beginning, a lot of people still went with other shortened names, some even disliking SwSh altogether. Have you guys gotten used to calling the games 'SwSh,' or are you still using another acronym?
[Sword & Shield] Have you gotten used to the acronym 'SwSh'?

As for acronyms, I tend to use Sw/Sh (slashes included), even though I prefer to use their longer name, Sword/Shield more often.

No, and I absolutely refuse to use it, because I can't bloody stand it.
I use "SnS" because I play too much Monster Hunter for my own good. xD

No money puns. They just don’t make cents.

I actually do prefer 'SwSh', I just simply use SS because it's convenient and I always do first letter of the game's names (there are some exceptions though)

been using SwSh for a while before it became the ~* official *~ acronym of the games, so yes. :>

SwSh (which I pronounce "swish") rolls off the tongue easily, so it's caught on fairly well for me. I had more trouble getting used to SuMo (though there are reasons why avoiding an S/M acronym, my first inclination for those, was good idea).
SwSh also works in that elements of the games are "swishing" past and missing the mark (e.g., Dexit and other issues).

I like SwSh. It's quick and easy to type and in my head I pronounce it "swish". Even though irl I just say "Sword and Shield" lol

I took to the official abbreviation immediately, actually! I love saying Swish.
I also pronounce it "swish". Didn't even notice the missing the mark thing, that's hilarious!
