It takes 24 keystrokes to enter "persistent troublemaker" and only 5 to 
enter "troll".  Similarly, it takes only 3 keystrokes to proclaim "NPA" 
(not counting the shift key); that certainly beats explaining the whole 
thing to someone.  This is the place where elaborate templates are 
devised to save a few keystrokes.

Evidently a suffering language is the price of convenience.
