re: #489 x-wing

So is it Afghani or Afghanistani? Seriously

All I can say is that it sounds unpleasant and jarring to me. Take it or leave it (though it appears I’m not alone in my sentiment).
re: #485 Alouette

Arabs can be Israelis. Can Jews be Palestinian?

(historical note: until 1948, all “Palestinians” were Jews.)

If you’re going to use that line of reasoning, then why use the abbreviation at all? If the word “Palestinian” doesn’t fit, why does the abbreviation work?
