    Probably from a bunch of people insulting others' ideas for no good reason.

    Why would you need to abbreviate a single word?

    Shadowlands.

    Remember running SL as a SL/SL warlock back in the days?

    And in Germany it's even mean something completely different, so nobody would at least use it there.

    ShL seems to be the best shortcut, Shadow would mix it with Shadowpriest, SL is too short.

    It will be called this even if it is the best expansion ever. Most practical is probably Shl or SDL--I really like Slands, myself (like shadowlab becoming slabs), but it will probably never stick.

    German uses the same word for "to drive around" and "to run over", and people have no problem telling them apart. Your issue doesn't exist. It's obvious from context what you're talking about. I don't buy the "too short", either. Shorter is gooder.

    SL would even work for the german name, though expansions don't get translated.

    Like Legion, I wont. Shadowlands is easy enough to say, and type. No need to for a short version. No need for confusion.
