However, while trying to find supporting evidence, I found:\r\n> \r\n> - It is easier to find precedent for \"ER\".\r\n> - EUR is already used as the currency code for Euro.\r\n\r\nI dislike this precedent for ER, athletics will always try and use 2 letter acronyms, WR, OR (Olympic Record), CR (Championship Record), SR (Stadium Record), etc. I don't think we should have one continent be inconsistent with the rest because of athletics. I thought we were trying to be more independent of other organisations?\r\n\r\nSAR is the currency code for Saudi Riyal (The currency of Saudi Arabia), and we use that. Again I think it's another reason just purely for counter-arguments sake. Also, how many people are going to look at a records page and think, \"Huh, I wonder why that time has Euros next to it?\" I highly doubt that would happen. Unless this is a really particular programming problem I'm unaware of, you'll have to find some way around that. 😄 \r\n\r\nAs an aside, EU/EUR are often shorthand for the European Union or Europe in general. Given how often it is denoted by EU/EUR already I believe EuR actually helps identify it better than ER currently does.\r\n\r\n"}}
