Here's what I don't get about Mumsnet postings

[TheGreatGatsby]

1. Why would you use so many acronyms? Is it really so much more time consuming to write "my son" than "DS"? Just type what you mean people, it's only a few more characters.
2. What is the strikethrough all about?? Every other message seems to include a sentence or two that the poster has inexplicably chosen to apply strikethrough to. Can anyone explain why? Do people really find it witty?

OP, like many other internet fora forums MN has its own language and culture. You need to lurk moar (as per Rule 33).

[IceAndSliceOfBrainsPlease]

zoo, DP & I have agreed on many, many occasions that there is never anything so amusing as a scribbled drawing of a spurting cock.

Does anyone else find themselves wanting to use strike throughs in emails at work or is it just me?

[SPsFanjoIsAsComfyAsAOnesie]

I try strike throughs and grins in texts. Think that means I have a problem
