The amount of smug confidence emanating from your comments is honestly stifling, especially considering how incredibly wrong you are. But let me go ahead and respond to you now in a much more meaningful way.
“Unsweet” is not a clipping of “unsweetened.” “Unsweet” is an adjective meaning that sweetness has been removed from something. “Unsweetened” means that sweetness was never added in the first place. They are two different words with two different meanings. When a server uses “unsweet” to mean “unsweetened,” they are using the word incorrectly and in the wrong sense.
“TV” is an initialism, which is a type of abbreviation. How you arrived at the conclusion that “TV” is simply a shortening of the word “television,” I have no idea. It is quite obvious, however, that you are not fully aware of how the English language actually functions. The fact that you are able to articulate yourself in English at all is frankly amazing, especially considering the sheer amount of smugness following you around.
Words are often shortened. It reduces the number of vowels and makes communication quicker and easier. Do you also have an issue with these?:
math
gym
bike
fridge
TV
ad
lab

I’m not even sure how to respond to this nonsense. Unsweet isn’t a shortening of unsweetened.
Also, TV is an abbreviation.
Unsweet is a shortening of unsweetened.
TV is a shortening of television. (not all shortenings need be abbreviations)
You’re right, though. You didn’t know how to respond.

You sound like a lovely person to have a discussion with
Photo is a word on its own tho so that also creates confusion if you shortened photography to photo. “Oh, I do photo for a living”.
