Completely besides the point, but isn’t it unnecessary to use ”TFA” in this instance? Personally I’m not at all offended by strong language, but it just seems hostile for no reason.
- zaroth 6y agoTo me 'TFA' means The Featured Article. Is there an abbreviation for that which is as widely known as TFA which doesn't have a negative potential interpretation (The Fucking Article)? 'OP' refers to the user who posted, not the post itself. The word 'Post' is I guess an OK but not great alternative.
- Cederfjard 6y ago>To me 'TFA' means The Featured Article. Fair enough, I wasn’t aware/didn’t think of that. My mind went straight to ”the fucking article”, which is why it appeared hostile to me.
- 0xffff2 6y ago"TFA" is definitely "the fucking article". C.f. "RTFM": "Read the fucking manual".
