Why when writing on here can't you just say the whole word instead of dd mil ect it's really annoying and lazy

You might have expected the stupid responses you got in reply, sadly. This along with the constant bad language is why I am leaving Mumsnet. The standards are way too low for me.

Just a bit of horseplay!

Hilarious thread OP! Mumsnet approved abbreviations are fine. Grammatical errors on the other hand..... thanks for the chuckle.

I have two English degrees (First and distinction) and I'm managing to cope on here...

I KNEW this would pop up. I'm surprised it was so late.

We're all used to the terms on here now. It would be strange to not use it, etc.

I don’t know, I think 23 mins into the thread isn’t bad.

Then you should be using 'et cetera'.

There's someone who wrote a (well meaning and quite sweet) message on the noticeboard in our block who wrote about our "blocker flats"

I thought it looked a bit wrong. Thank you. That will teach me not to try to be a smart arse🤭

Tbf an OP like this is enough to make anyone feel the need to be a smart arse Grin

Actually it's 'et cetera'. Two words.

Really? I don't think you are 'getting' this thread 😂😂😂

I fear you may have missed out on the first couple of pages of the thread and assumed we were ‘still’ discussing MN abbreviations.

The OP accused us of whinnying. Although I don’t think that was what she was trying to say.

She may have been hoarse with rage.

Oh I missed what OP deleted messages were. What was she saying? Something about horses neighing? 😆😂🤣
