Exactly. What I meant was that it seems that the shortening of the words is a result of such an impossible task as to name and categorize all pieces of music into white and black. Even more so if you're dealing with a composer or group that has created a lot of different pieces of music. It's the U and E I like. The absence of real words.
Sort of like: "If you want to consider it U that's fine, I'll stick with my E." There are plenty of letters left for others. Something in me tells me that the shortening of those descriptive words is not merely a means of quickening speech.
