Another “just curious” question. …
I started using “Tnx” as shorthand for “Thanks” in the early 1960s, as did my friends at college. Over maybe the past eight years, as I started texting, I’ve seen distinctly more “Thx” than “Tnx.” I wonder if that developed with the proliferation of texting, or if “Tnx” has always been an outlier. Do you use either, and if so, which— and when did you start? Tnx in advance for your thoughts.
I used “tnx” on the messager unit when I drove semi. I’m starting to use thnx lately on internet messages/replies but sometimes I’m wondering if it’s a bit dismissive - not giving enough respect to the receiver.
I can’t remember when I first saw the abbreviation,,, methinks it was on a greeting card many moons and orbits ago.

I send quite a few emails everyday for work. I am always surprised at how many incomplete sentences, abbreviations, and general spelling/grammatical errors I receive.
It does feel dismissive as you say, especially in a professional setting. It's like the sender hasn't even the care to take 15-30 seconds to proofread what they write.
But I can't tell you how many times I receive almost unreadable messages from people who are supposed to be professionals.
Just a personal pet peeve.
Thx

I dunno Dean .... I see the "T" and the "F" on the keyboard are in relatively close proximity ... i.e. was that "FY" just a slip of the finger / typo or ... ??
