Gd damn it. I hate when people use fake words like wrt. What the Hell is that? You tell me that you are smart by talking about Ganymede but then stick a wrt in the first sentence. I hate it so bad that I won’t read the article and also I won’t read your book even if it is free.

I hate it when people have to use expletives to vent their anger on public forums.

fake words like wrt

This abbreviation predates the internet, it has been common in business correspondence since the 1950s. First mention in the Oxford English Dictionary in 1956.
