    Why do people abbreviate habbo rares like Green bird bath = Gbb?

    Habbo has been open quite along time with the trading system and people abbreviate the rares, Why don't they do something smart and abbreviate the words you use all the time when trading.

    My idea was to use;

    S : for selling
    B : for Buying
    O : For offer.

    And you would set it out like "B : Duck - O : 1 Cred."

    Wouldn't it be much easier? Even more when using the rare abbreviations.

    Not really cause i bet people saying sell GBB wouldn't confuse you, or other things .

    You would basically get use to it and figure it out yourself.

    I see where you're coming from.

    But wouldn't it be better if you had say an option to enable abbriviation *insert cool and funky machine function here* or something where you type say GBB in your speech, and when you press enter it becomes like green birdbath

    eg.

    you type: hi everyone s gbb f t
    appears: hi everyone selling green birdbath for throne

    I prefer just to type out the full words without abbreviating.

    Is it not simple enough just to say the word instead of making each room into something from the Da Vinci code.

    Maybe in the trade rooms, there is an additional button called 'Deal' or something, and you type in what you're selling/buying and offering at it would come out automatically like this:

    Buying: -
    Selling: HC Sofa
    Offer: 14 Credits

    Kalk: Selling HC for 14 Credits
