The reason why people chose to use avi instead of Ava as the abbreviation is that they "ie"/"ey" sound at the end of words is more pleasing to hear. E.g. fluffy or fluffa. Generally the ie sound is better for ending words. That's about all there is to it anyways
I heard that's the same reason you Should name cats with an -ee sound at the end. They respond to that sound better
I feel more comfortable with saying 'Avi' though I know the better term would be 'Ava'. I don't know why it's the same way how I would prefer round pizza over square.
Lol, tbh I thought I was going to get Perm silenced cause I had 2 perm silences prior to that back then..... Did I miss something? Did ata reset all our silences or something?
