In response to the above, in LC we generally used "it is played at Level 5." The correct abbreviation should be Lv. 5. The exception to this is "we ain't on the same level" or something to that avail.

also discuss this:
<sirndpt> actually
<sirndpt> The phrase "super effective" is neither hyphenated nor capitalized.
<sirndpt> why?
<sirndpt> wouldn't super-effective move be correct grammatically?
<RayJay> because that's the policy for a long time
<RayJay> and not to my understanding
<RayJay> a move is super effective
<sirndpt> yes
<RayJay> effective is the direct object
<RayJay> super is an adjective modifying it
<RayJay> oh no it's an adverb actually i think
<RayJay> wait why would you hyphenate it
<sirndpt> i thought super-effective was the adjective
<RayJay> oh
<sirndpt> sky-high Attack stat, etc
<RayJay> yeah i could see either way
<RayJay> i see what you're saying
<RayJay> especially if it's like "this is a super-effective attack"
<sirndpt> yea
