This. Bit embarrassing, OP - type out 'electro convulsion therapy'.

Abbreviations are widely used across the whole Internet. I really don't think the www is going to change because it irritates you

Ouch!!!

BlushPine · 21/12/2024 18:25

Why not write grammatically, and use punctuation correctly, OP?

BitchinTwinset · 21/12/2024 18:25

It's for the same reason you didn't write out 'cannot' instead of 'can't', and 'it is' instead of 'it's'.

debauchedsloth · 21/12/2024 18:25

It's DD and MIL init

Shocking!

SnowyPetals · 21/12/2024 18:26

Ho, ho, the joyous irony when someone having a moan about abbreviations can't use them themselves 🤣🤣. ETC ETC ETC.

Funnywonder · 21/12/2024 18:27

And just to join in the general SPAG dissection, where the heck is your full stop?
