These are even more impractical, so I wonder what your point is? I can come up with an even shorter way to say 18th century, by using base26 for example, so let's denote it as "cR". What has been gained?

These are ones that are actually used, not just ones I made up. Sorry that wasn't more clear. I really hate conversation on this site.
