can people please not use CP for chicken pox

[2shoes]

CP

cerebral palsy or chemical pregnancy, depending on the context

as copied from mn

why oh why do people use if for chicken pox.

i know you do 2shoes, and you know i don;t

but no-one is using cp as an abbrviation to annoy you or denigrate those who have it

sorry for asking.

All of this 'posting with caution' is getting out of hand.

So can we no longer have 'dog' in a thread title because someone on mumsnet has a fear of dogs?

As long as Chicken Pox has been mentioned in the thread title, then people will know that when CP is seen, then it is chicken pox that is being referred to.

People could refer to it as The Pox, but then people might think that it could be small pox, monkey pox etc.

Abbreviations are not mutually exclusive.

Oh not "have you got a child with CP"

I've got a child with AS but I wouldn't freak out if somebody with an Anna Schultz handbag abbreviated it on a website for heavens' sake!

i am far more offended by the use of the c word , but i accept people posting on MN are adults and don't always want to or appreciate they have to moderate every word they type

if people were using other more offensive words, i would be right behind you, but CP as an abbreviation is not offensive, but i am sorry it annoys you

you're being waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too touchy over this 2shoes...

wannaBe sorry we are lazy we do use CP in rl as well

TheDevilWearsPrimark no idea what you are on about
greensneeze you made me lol.
as I did say i started this thread last friday night at 10.39, I posted got answered and forgot about it tbh.

so why have you posted to me like our paths have never crossed before on MN, 2shoes??

am a bit baffled

Ah but greenie I would freak out if someone posted that their child had Anna Schulz accesories or small leather goods - totally over the top and she tends to be a bit obvious in the embelishment department .

It always makes me laugh that pepole use so many abreviations anyway when mostly we take the time to put "will you please fuck the fuck off" in longhand

who is Anna Schulz? does she post on here?

"wypftfo"....not quite as meaningful is it?

I don't like MS for morning sickness. Always makes me think of Multiple Sclerosis.

My name is Juliet Churchill and it really pisses me off when I see JC used as an abreviation for Jesus Christ tbh.

have never seen anyone refer to you as MS so I think you are safe!

I just automatically read 'I am suffering from such horrendous MS' and think poor souls with their bad Multiple Sclerosis.

But I realise that is my reading of it

LOLOL

sorry unless I missed it I havn't used the word offensive or offended. I just asked "why oh why do people use if for chicken pox."

because chicken begins with C and pox begins with P...2shoes, i'm sure you're not being serious here.

Why don't we find a MN nn for Chickenpox, I will start
