You are correct. However, getting people in our field to understand how simply inheritance can be expressed with upper and lower-case letters is difficult enough. Including subscripts, and even superscripts in the case of many mouse genetics, would be nearly impossible to communicate with.

If we were going to be using that, then we would need to use it with Cinnamon and Black Pastel genes:
Cc and Cb

Or with Butter/Mojave/Lesser complex:
Xb Xm and Xl

Have we confused anyone following this thread yet? Well, it is about to get very very complicated.
