Why doesn't Cookie Monster use the Cookie Monster short numbers? about cookiemonster HOT 4 CLOSED

First off, I rewrote Cookie Monster from scratch only reading the code and the reimplementing the way I like it. I did it this way because I didn't like how the whole simulating system worked on the actual data in the old version which would cause crazy things to happen when a new version of Cookie Clicker came out. My version is very safe in that regard in which you won't all of a sudden keep changing seasons or gain/lose a ton of cookies/buildings/upgrades/achievements. With that said, when I first reimplemented short numbers, I didn't like how it was doing "Qa", so I did it the way I like it. Basically, I used pretty much none of the old CMo's code.

Short scale is based off of this, which is more common anyway. I just did it to make sure there was no confusion on the type of scale.

I should note that if you really want to change it, all you need to do is go to your browser JS console and change this:

CM.Disp.shortScale = [ 'M' , 'B' , 'Tr' , 'Quadr' , 'Quint' , 'Sext' , 'Sept' , 'Oct' , 'Non' , 'Dec' , 'Undec' , 'Duodec' , 'Tredec' ];

to whatever you like.

I like how this 'compact' one looks (they stop being good after quattuordecillion):

CM.Disp.shortScale = [ 'm' , 'b' , 't' , 'q' , 'qt' , 's' , 'sp' , 'o' , 'n' , 'd' , 'u' , 'do' , 'te' , 'qo' ];

While it is nice compact, what I didn't like is the lack of a common way to choose what letter, hence why I did what I did
