I've noticed with the heated discussion on TD10's remnants that people tend to talk about the remnant with different terms, such as:
TD-10R
XTD-10
TD-10 remnant
wave formerly known as TD-10
etc., etc.
Which do you use?
Favorite way to label remnants?

Well, technically TD-10R is incorrect. The suffix R, although may mean remnant to some, is officially the suffix for any storm that forms in the SW Indian Ocean, under La Reunion's warning responsibility.
XTD-10, although easier to type, passes on the impression that it is extratropical. 10L is far from extratropical.
Wave formerly known as TD-10 would be appropriate now, but it would be a few days after it was dropped as a tropical cyclone. A system can still be a low, which was the case, without it being a tropical cyclone.
The better phrase to use is Remnants of 10L

I used "carcass" (among other phrase-ology) in my last AFD. Seemed apropos given the shape in was in.

Saw the same response a few days ago in another thread where #10 was being discussed. In any event, let's hope we don't have to get too used to labeling dead, or near-dead, or living-dead systems and things will get back to normal -- soon!!
LOL!!!
