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

The Secret Service Does Not Comment On Procedure.

It’s one from the old days, coined by the legendary OliviaMumsnet. She was known for her eyebrows, her Ahems & being a huge fan of The West Wing, which is where it comes from.

Try and figure that one out.

Why can't you use correct punctuation?

Ooh OP, you got burned 🔥

Actually it’s etc. short for et cetera. Et means “and”, whilst cetera denotes the rest, thus meaning “and the rest”. Now combined into the one word etcetera. As the abbreviation does not include the final letter, there should be a full stop, which is usually ignored. Hth.

Fpni

It's etc.
Hth.

I don't mind acronyms in some cases, though I don't know why we have to put "D" in front of everything. "D dog" ... it's quicker just to write "dog" for goodness sake.

There's also a really irritating growing trend of just writing "w" for "with". People are typing really long, eloquent messages, but then using "w". For example "I'm really struggling w things this winter, can anyone help me?" Why!

👁✍ like a 😇, so there.

Why are you telling me something I already know? That was the point of my post, I was replying to the OP.

Hi OP, fyi my Ddog just said fottfsofafosm. Hth.

I also hate "ofc" which doesn't make any sense. Surely it should be "oc", if anything.

Stfu and gal

Isn't that of fucking course? I've always thought it was!

I struggle with remembering acronyms too. Drives me potty

Punctuation? Etc ... ?
😵‍💫🤷🙄

It is etc. It stands for Et Cetera

ECT? I don't want my brain fried.

HAHAHA

I hate the abbreviations.

I call it the 'u wot mate' vocabulary.

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