The English language is in a period of never-ending flux, so neologisms and compression are acts of making the language more efficient and accessible for any group. It's all about who the target audience is, what you want to communicate, and what will be the most adequate way to communicate with that audience.

"most adequate" - that's a very English (British) thing to optimise for.
