I really like NSW, it has a lot of charisma to it.

My grammar errors are justified by the fact that I am a brazilian living in Brazil. I am also very stupid.

I always automatically go for three lettered abbreviations in my head for some reason. I don't know, seems more natural I guess. So I was thinking "NSW", but I guess "NS" is decent enough.

Let's go with NX. The original.

I default to that by accident on occasion, too. I used it for so long before the first Switch reveal lol. NX was a really cool name, to me. NS is what I'll officially go with, though. Makes the most sense and sounds (second) best to me :)

They're all terrible. NS is out for obvious reasons. Switch is generally a terrible name for a device without even a single LAN port.

Let's just call it the Nintendo. Or N word for short.

If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.
