(As per the top thread on DOTD).

I always read 'MNer' as 'Mumsnetter', not 'Em-en-er'.

Am I the only one?! Is there a rule?!

Can I just mention here:

Dear or Darling Child - DC.

Dear or Darling Children - DC.

So what are DCs - Dear/Darling Childs?

I always see MNer as Em-En-er, but never ever thought of YANBU as Yan-boo, I always see it in my head in full! Quite like Yanboo, may now start thinking that (can't believe I never saw that before!)

I always read MNer as Emner (not Em-En-er) - I'm obviously barking Grin

But yes 'An' not 'A' -'A' sounds odd.
