I suppose we do use things like WW2, Nam, and CW2 quite a bit. Now if we start hashtagging stuff, then that’s is very hipster!
Also, I’ve never actually liked the name “Revolutionary War”
It wasn’t the only revolution that ever took place and it wasn’t revolutionary in terms of being something new or novel. It was the American Revolution...ok my nitpicking is done.
Neither was the “Civil War” the only one.
