Here is something to read for everyone who uses "CP" for Classic Petra:

When I grew up (in Sweden), children used "CP" as foul language to tease each other...

I get what you're saying but there is nothing that makes the abbreviation CP have to stand for anything. I think it's just fine if people want to refer to Classic Petra as "CP" those are the Proper initials.

One of the main rules of public speaking is "Know your audience."

For example, in some churches, don't even mention "Dance", much less be found practicing the vile behavior.

"CP" for Classic Petra works fine, here. I don't think it would catch on outside a board such as this.

Then again, I'm not Swedish.
