Long command formats

[peilinye]

The command formats are rather long and difficult to type, could consider just using a few letters instead of the full word.

Team's Response

We prioritised clarity and ease of learning when picking the flags. Case such as, position and phone, date and duration will have same first character which will be confusing

Items for the Tester to Verify

:question: Issue response

Team chose [response.Rejected]

• [x] I disagree

Reason for disagreement: Other than just using the first character of the word, the team could also have shortened the word, such as using 'pos' for position and 'dur' for duration, which is also rather intuitive and easy to understand/learn, and does not compromise typing as much. Furthermore, this command is rather essential and commonly used, combined with the fact that the command itself is rather long with many fields to include, users are likely to find it a hassle to key in so many unnecessary long command words, and would prefer the shortened version.

(Even during the short testing period when I only keyed in this command a few times, I already found it to be quite cumbersome and unnecessary for the command words to be the full word.)
