Question fwkW - Why??

I don't understand this. On this forum, and this is the ONLY place I've seen this, people refer to kW @ the fly as "fwkW." Why not just say (I'll use a GT as an example) my car has 290kW then "My car has 290fwkW."

fwkW is supposed to mean "front wheel kiloWatts" So what happens when we talk about FWD cars? Someone says I have 150fwkW and then everyone goes "Do you meen at the wheels or flywheel?"

Needed to get that little rant off my chest (I really believe it is stupid)... and am still curious as to why people do that.. : :
