> I have almost always seen others shorten Evergreen to EG, with very few exceptions (only one I can think of before this thread started).  The "v", in the rare cases I've seen it use, has always put me off and caused a mental stumble because if its rarity.  At least in the EG (heh) dev community, "eg" has 6 years of history and precedent, so I'm strongly in favor of that.

Though if you're trying to use search.twitter.com and its RSS feeds,
the more unique the better.  #evergreen and #eg are bad in that
regard.  I'd rather have some thing like #yzzyx
