Wybieram alias , gdyz nie jestem pewna czy vel bedzie dla kazdego zrozumiale. Wybieram te odpoweidz, gdyz byles szybszy od Magdy. Odrzucilam pierwsza odpowiedz, gdyz odpowiadajacy "missed the point of my question". Chodzilo mi o skrot, nie o tlumaczenie aka.
Thanks!

Please read my question carefully before answering. I know what aka means in Polish, I was looking for equivalent for the abbreviation.

o różnicy pomiędzy alias i vel:
na moje wyczucie vel stosowane jest w sytuacjach, gdy osoba znana jest pod różnymi formami tego samego nazwiska, np. Janusz Pyciak vel Peciak, a alias wtedy, gdy osoba ma dwie różne "identity", a więc i imię i nazwisko s± inne, a szczególnie je¶li jedno jest męskie,a drugie żeńskie. Np. podaj±c nazwiska kryminalistów posługuj±cych się różnymi toższamo¶ciami na ogół używa się 'alias', a nie 'vel'.
Tyle mój "nos" językowy. ;)
