I always chuckle with the DW DH etc... The D stands for many four letter occasions not just the word "DEAR"
The TV is the one that is always misleading to me. I immediately think Television sets - not 4WD trucks....
I usually just go ahead and spell the words out. Doesn't cost any more money to be better understood in your comments. Everyone seems to think they 'HAVE' to make very brief comments. I have no idea where all of that came from. I certainly don't follow those tactics in my comments haha..

I agree. The whole DW and DH stuff is kind of annoying and I don't know when that all started but I assume the why part is just laziness. I'll type "my wife" instead of DW for the rest of my life and it may cost me 5 minutes of my life in total. I don't need to use some abbreviated term of endearment I've never used in my life.
Stuff like TT for travel trailer or TV for tow vehicle makes more sense as these are acronyms for words I actually use.
Anyway, carry on...
