My advice, nowadays, is to avoid the old English erudite Latin
abbreviations.  They offer no advantage over the plain English
expressions that everyone will understand.

In the GNU C Language Introduction and Reference Manual, I have
avoided them completely. That was easy and had no downside.

We have made overall style changes many times in GNU manuals.  To do
so for the whole Emacs Manual would be a big job, so we might not
decide to do it, but it's not unreasonable in principle.
