Which abbreviation do you prefer?

7YW just makes more sense. As does 30YW.

7YW is a better nomenclature as the 7 is a big tip off.
Frederick	09 Mar 2017 7:42 p.m. PST
SYW for me
daler240D	09 Mar 2017 7:53 p.m. PST
i admit to using SYW but I see that 7YW makes more sense.
Dan 055	09 Mar 2017 8:33 p.m. PST
7YW makes it more obvious.

Most use SYW, but 7YW is also recognized as referring to "SYW"…
Weasel	10 Mar 2017 9:59 a.m. PST
SYW looks more natural but that's not really rational, since everyone uses WW2.

IIRC – a few decades ago the hobby term I saw the most was 7YW. An even fewer decades ago SYW emerged and is no the acccepted term. Either way, fine by me.
