While I can understand your confusion, I think a simpler rule is: use
whatever abbreviation you want. If someone is confused about an
abbreviation or language or term or whatever, just ask. We're a
generally helpful bunch.
I'd prefer not to try to enforce rules of terminology, grammar,
diction, spelling or what have you in this forum.
