Why so many abbreviations in NOTAMs, etc.?
I can't think of any situation today in which bandwidth
would be so severely limited that saving a letter or two would make a difference, METARs by cell phone text message service would be quite unwieldy if they were not abbreviated, and imagine if some yahoo decides that HTML format is the "modern" way to go. Feh Jose -- Get high on gasoline: fly an airplane. for Email, make the obvious change in the address.

Or menu generated Java. Proprietary, of course... :-(
