So just start refering to them as 'taurs and 'turians.

Just a simple long-term suggestion: keep name abreviations in mind when naming ships, etc. Currently the Centurion and Centaur are referred to as "cent" and it can be confusing. Usually looking at the context makes it obvious ("let's dual with cents" usually doesn't refer to Centaurs), but less confusion is always better!

I certainly don't expect the "cents" to change names now. But whenever the ships get a major over-haul (3.3?, 3.4?) it would make sense.
