Sorry to diverge the thread again.
One thing on the ARFOR over here in the west (not too sure bout you guys over the other side) that they have started doing that is annoying is replacing place names with thir designator.

This has been going on for roughly 6 months, I feel it is a loss of situational awareness and they always seem to pick places with a funny designator that you have no idea where it is! My PCA is getting a seriously abnormal workout!

The funny thing is other fields on the forcast, like Turbulence and to some extent the cloud it is being written out longhand.

Nil Sig now is Nil Significant
CUF now is Cumloform cloud etc.

At least with the places put the name like '' showers west of Perth(YPPH) after 06z'' for example
