I wasn’t really trying to raise the topic of the abbreviations/nicknames since there was already a discussion about allowing only the scientific names to be picked up in this topic https://forum.inaturalist.org/t/observations-uploading-with-random-species/8248/15, which was closed with a note that it’s working as intended. So I’m resigned to that. In this topic I was just hoping to make the confusion a little less for people by not having it look like the observer made the IDs.
