Acronyms

I think it is also a matter of number of letters. For some reason an acronym looks better if it has at least 2 letters, thus DH not H and DD, not D. Or is it just me

As the DearXYZ seems to be unique to MN and GN I'd love to know which one started it. Did HQ print it in a list when the sites began or was it one of the original members who first used it
Does HQ even know. ?

Do we still have OG which used to mean 'old git' - ie not so dear husband!

You forget about it being twee after a while. I tend not to use the D before GD and GC etc. as I get confused...

It depends how often you mention your dear/dratted relatives.

yggdrasil it might seem a bit twee to you but it sure saves a lot of typing

Teehee ygg it is, but you better take cover!
