fu-shorthand.gifYears 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.
