@ArtofAngels, just because it is not in the dictionary doesn't mean it's not real... and just because it is doesn't mean it's not.
From M-W.com:
Main Entry: Jap
Pronunciation: 'jap
Function: noun or adjective
usually disparaging : JAPANESE
Use a different abbreviation. Just don't use it. It's easy. Don't. Aussie is what many Australians call them selves, and it is not derogatory.
I would cite regulation, but I know you will simply ignore it.
