Years ago, I got an email from a long time client that read something like this.
There is a bug with portion X of the system.F/U!
I scratched my head and thought, what they heck! It is a small bug, why is he so upset!
Plus it is not in his nature to use such language, even when upset.
So I read it like fifteen times and finally figured out F/U stood for "follow up."
So in a sense he wrote, please follow up with me when you look into it.
Just remembered this story, figured I share it with you.

hehe....I heard the same story from a fella named Barry (Barry Shain) in 1992. I use 'FU' on my yellow pads to this day because of it.

That was great, Barry. I'd have thought the same thing. :D
