One word of caution for space bar users. You may be tempted to empty Shorts.glo because you think that you only use dedicated short forms. But beware: If you include compiled glossaries, they are very likely to contain entries such as

if intravenous fluids

Shorts.glo contains entries such as

if if

to avoid a blooper expansion of "if" into "intravenous fluids" :-)
Therefore, be careful if you think about emptying Shorts.glo. It is almost never the right solution.
