I hate whoever changed this nomenclature. It's PM and I will die on this hill.
I am too afraid to search this.. I thought PMs meant menstural cycles in some cultures.. Like british if I am not mistaken.
Turns out most PMs weren't actually private since site admins and mods could see them, so they switched to 'direct message' as a more honest description.
I always thought "PM" stands for "
P
ersonalM
essage", which is more or less an okay description. You send a message to someone "personally", not in-person, but close enough, I suppose.Preventative maintenance?
Prime Minister?
Most TLA's are horribly overloaded (T for 2).
At first I read that as "top-level aliases" and wondered why you meant T for 2.
Then I suddenly realized the more pressing question: if there are top-level aliases, are there sub aliases? And what would they look like?
Player Master? I don't think this will ever catch on.
