I think "System 1" is becoming standard, supplanting the old-fashioned "Type 1." I think the mnemonic is that "System 1" acts first and only sometimes falls back to "System 2."

That's true; it was a mistake to say they aren't suggestive at all. There does seem to be a natural ordering here. I guess it's not so bad in this context. "System 1/2" is a bit more distinctive, I agree.
