For what its worth..... Abbreviating started with telegrams and use of teletypes in the 1930's.  Back a hundred years ago, I was a weather forecaster, and we still used teletypes for backup, and we typed and disseminated everything on the teletype in abbreviations. It was important to make dissemination as fast as possible, and use less paper.  Personally, I can type and read something abbreviated much faster than something spelled out.

So just wanted to correct...its not a "text" thing, its just a way of being brief and to the point.....which if you've also been in the aviation business, is a good thing.

Meanwhile, I'm trying to get trains out the door.   Thanks for the orders!!!
