I really hate this acronym and this comment is no different from saying “read the article” which is against the guidelines here

- codetrotter 3y ago> saying “read the article” which is against the guidelines here The guidelines say that you should not accuse someone of not having read the article. However, as the guidelines say it is fine to point out that something is mentioned in the article. There is a subtle difference. From the guidelines: > Please don't comment on whether someone read an article. "Did you even read the article? It mentions that" can be shortened to "The article mentions that". Parent comment was in line with the guidelines IMO. And as for “TFA” as an acronym I like to read it as meaning “The Featured Article”. Then it seems nice and friendly.
