Import seaborn as ??

See original GitHub issue

Not an issue, just a question from an enthusiastic user. You seem to like

import seaborn as sns

as your import style. When you type that, what is the voice in your head saying out loud? I had generally been importing as sbn since it “sounded right”.

While I think that this is funny I think this should be mentioned somewhere. For code readability, module abbreviations should be consistent and I think people would more readily use sns if they knew why 😃.

All kidding aside, I think that’s a very reasonable point. I suppose I prefer sbn since it doesn’t require people to “get the joke” even if the joke is documented. But I’m a team player, so I will probably just confirm my code to whatever consensus seems to be.
