[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Please stop calling it UIUC.[/quote]

My god, no one wants to type out Urbana-Champaign and "U of I" is vague to anyone not from Illinois. Everyone understands "UIUC."[/quote]

Ok, well, as someone from Illinois, I'm telling you that you sound like an idiot. It's U of I.[/quote]

According to the thing's own style guide, for second references in-state audiences it's "U. of I."

So I propose that one per thread the first person to mention the thing use the full University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign.

For subsequent references posters who believe their audience is primarily in state or alumni may chose among the following:

Illinois
U. of I. (Note the two periods!!)
Urbana
the Urbana campus
the thing

Those who believe their audience not to be in state or alumni may chose to use UIUC as long as there's a nearby reference to Illinois.

But wait! Looks like the thing's other style guide doesn't use periods for "U of I" -- so, anything goes? LOL.
