as correct as SKT T1 is according to our veterans, i still think SKT1 just has that ring to it that makes it more catchy and easier to remember. Even if its incorrect, i prefer calling them SKT1.

the t is lower case and the SK is upper case, so it's SKtelecom

SKtelecom T1 = SKT1

not that hard to understand

I fail to see the number 1 in the logo, is it painted in white?
oh noes i am color blinded.

SKTT1 = SKT1

Everybody uses this kind of abbreviation in the English language.

SKT1 FOR LIFE! It sounds so much better and natural.

+ Show Spoiler +
In fact SKT and SKT T1 annoys me


this is how its done

are we really using logo caps to determine whether or not words in a company's name actually 'count'?

in that case, does a company that uses all caps in its logo, such as

abbreviate to MOELISCOMPANY?

and does a company that uses all lower case
[image loading]


abbreviate to.... well, nothing?

clearly the only correct form of abbreviation that makes any damn sense is divorced from any notion of capitalization

furthermore, as Team First does not represent all of SK Group, but rather the Telecom part, it is an important distinction to make.

This bothered me for years. I mean, what sort of a team name is "T1"? It sounds like a broadband cable, which makes sense I guess... but then the Telecom bit is also T.

At all events I can't bring myself to write it "SKTT1", so it's always SKT or SK Telecom T1 for me.

Does anybody actually call them T1?

theres a & between the 2 words, but u'd probably call it Moelis Moelis Company MMC1
hulu is already 4 characters, how lazy can u get, u dont need to shorten it

ppl should use either form bc SKT1 is fine, i guess we'll just agree 2 disagree

edit: just look at the poll, most ppl agree with me
