What is the right way to refer to the site when we want to use shorthand? Do we use FUD, FUDi, or ? Early on, @kenrick mentioned that he didn’t think FUD would be good, since the acronym also means Fear, Uncertainty, Doubt. But I have noticed many are using it. So far, I have used FUDi in the official references – I think. What are your thoughts? Several “official” pages on the website need a shorthand reference to FUDiabetes, so we need some timely agreement on this matter 🙂 ---

I vote for FUDi. But is FUDi pronounced “FOO-DEE” or “FUDDY” or “FUD-DIE”? ---

FUD, like Sam. Never heard of Fear, Uncertainty, Doubt (in acronym form) until you mentioned it ---

Sorry if mine was not clear also…this is what I was voting for also. FUD, or “Eff…You…Dee”…the actual letter pronunciations. ---

I vote for the abbreviation (FUD) rather than the acronym. ---

OK – FUD it is then! I’ll update the category names that refer to FUDi. ---
