    Think of it as how the shorthand version of CHRISTmas is Xmas and it make a tad more sense albeit still a rather unnecessary abbreviation in this situation.

      I mean, strictly speaking, are not all abbreviations unnecessary? Sticking-my-tongue-out ASCII American Standard Code for Information Interchange symbol face.

        It serves a purpose to be concise within professional circles but you do have to be more descriptive with the general public sometimes. Nobody gonna know what CYP2D6 means unless you explain it.

        (It’s a liver enzyme that metabolizes various things)
