It’s just one word though your constant sentence breaking and haiku-like paragraphing is more of a headache to read.

How can you start a thread condemning someone using a widely known short hand for a word and then use one yourself?

bc is still a recognized short hand for because even if you dislike it.

In the grand scheme of things does it actually matter if someone uses it?

Typical Leavers' tactics, they lose argument over brexit so they attack somewhere else. Surprised Arista didn't call "bc" unpatriotic
