There is no such thing as a Stupid Question!
Don't be embarrassed of your curiosity; everyone has questions that they may feel uncomfortable asking certain people, so this place gives you a nice area not to be judged about asking it. Everyone here is willing to help.
- ex. How do I change oil
- ex. How to tie shoes
- ex. Can you cry underwater?
Reminder that the rules for lemmy.ca still apply!
Thanks for reading all of this, even if you didn't read all of this, and your eye started somewhere else, have a watermelon slice ๐.

MODERATORS
Did at least one pair of people engage in the act? Perhaps. Was it regular/common? No. Telegraphs cost money and most places charged by the length of the message, which is why so many abbreviations were common.
The cost of telegrams is probably why acronyms like DTF got so popular.
Dont stop!!!!, STOP
