I really like the let's take a generic Math term (Spherical Harmonics) and turn it into a Graphics term with specific meaning..

Especially when the technique already has a name that sounds cooler Precomputed Radiance Transfer (PRT)

For a sec I read "FAPtastic"

Actually abbreviation "faf" has some funny connotations in my native tongue too, while we're at it...

Do tell.

Lets not forget that SH is used instead of irradiance enviroment maps as well.

Which means people saying SH give no clue what the doing even in real-time rendering circles.

I could probably have lived with SH = PRT but SH = PRT | IEM does my head in.
