Physics isn't my field, so I'll take his word for it if Devac says yes, but does anyone really use "FAPP" as an abbreviation for "for all practical purposes"? There's a wikipedia entry that says so, but it's unsourced (for comparison, WLOG cites a book on writing proofs). Duckduckgo results are, as expected, almost all about masturbation.

am_Unition, Devac defers to you. Is FAPP accepted physics jargon? Inquiring minds want to know.

I've never seen anyone FAPP, but I've seen lots of WLOGing, QEDs, WRTs, triple dots, and many more. FAPPing may be more common in Europe.
