Abbreviations

The following tables are a key to the abbreviations I employ within the works comprising Abstruse Ushering of Triplanetary Gallicinium. Certain abbreviations do not correspond to a name, so the term "Expatiation" is utilised instead of the more obvious "Name". The "Nominal" column refers to either a title for the character or, for abbreviations referring to more than one character, the name of each individual character. I hope you find them helpful:

Character Abbreviations

Abbreviation	Expatiation	Nominal(s)	Profile?
PaJB	Patrick J. Buchanan	Special Assistant to the [American] President	No
JDE	John D. Ehrlichman	Assistant to the [American] President for Domestic Affairs	No
P	President Nixon	The American President	No
HRH	Harry R. Haldeman	Assistant to the [American] President	No
APB	Alexander P. Butterfield	Deputy Assistant to the [American] President	No
CWC	Charles W. Colson	??? to the [American] President	No
WPR	William P. Rogers	[American] Secretary of State	No
IN	Iku Nagae	Observer of the Pacific Plate	No
WHO	White House Operator	Nevenka Jugovac, Cherry Vernon	No
EK	Egil "Bud" Krogh	Deputy Assistant to the President for Domestic Affairs	No
Ri	Ringo	Personal Secretary of the Observer of the Pacific Plate	No
TS	Taishuu Shinoka	Observer of the Sunda Plate	No
TW	Toyotama Watatsuki	[Lunarian] Ministrix of Foreign Affairs	No
JE	Jeanne Ehrlichman	Wife of John D. Ehrlichman	No

Note: The abbreviations of each real person's name are taken from the abbreviations provided by Luke Nichter at nixontapes.org. Abbreviations of fictional character names stem from the first character[s] of the romanisations of each name. The abbreviation PDF takes precedence over any abbreviations I devise.

Speaking Abbreviations

Abbreviation	Name	Type	Extra Information
ENG	English	Language	The default language.
ERU	Eruditaen	Language	The language of the Lunar Kingdom.

If the English used in either series looks a little odd, then it may be due to my adherence to British English spelling norms.

Rationale for Abbreviations

As of June 2024, the dialogue within Nixon Administration Power Reel is strictly text-based. One of my goals is to compile a database of digital voicebanks which include samples from the Nixon White House Taping System. With respect to the first two installments of Nixon Administration Power Reel, these installments will only possess text-based dialogue. Even with digital voicebank audio, I still intend on supplementing the auditory dialogue with textual transcripts within bothNixon Administration Power Reel and Wayward Apollo Log. Whether the textual transcripts will remain hard-coded within each video, soft-coded with a subtitle file, or even relegated to a separate dialogue document or description accompanying each video is to be determined.

Even if I were to hard-code the dialogue within each addition to the Abstruse Ushering of Triplanetary Gallicinium storyline, I have no intention of dedicating large sections of each frame to accommodate dialogue, as seen in physical comics and the earlier installments of Koishi Komeiji's Heart-Throbbing Adventure. Abbreviations for character names and other modifiers ensure the dialogue can fit within a given frame without it overwhelming a frame. Soft-coded subtitles and separate dialogue documents/descriptions necessitate abbreviations.
