Letter: Please don’t call us ‘Cludites’

(Scott Sommerdorf | The Salt Lake Tribune) The Salt Lake LDS Temple and the Utah State Capitol are seen together, Wednesday, July 26, 2017.

Several recent articles in The Salt Lake Tribune have dealt with President Russell Nelson's dictum of the proper name use for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

We have several acronyms such as CIA, FANG and POTUS in general use that reference familiar entities with longer-sounding names. Heaven help the above-named church if the acronym CJCLDS (pronounced: sea-jay-cluds) becomes in use with the followers known as Cludites.

I much prefer to be known as a Mormon.

Milo (Mike) Calder, Salt Lake City
