    Wait a minute… Does the name of the currency come from payments that were not counted but weighed? Gotta check.

    ETA: Oh my gosh yes, one pound sterling (currency) was originally one pound (weight) of sterling silver. I’m probably the last person to discover this, but still that’s pretty cool.

          I can feel all the math people dying inside from not reducing that

        Edited To Add. The constant barrage of TLAs is exhausting.

            It’s weird when Reddit started shifting from ETA: “everyone’s the asshole” to exited to add.

            Idk I guess it’s the kids and their new dang language and hippity hop music

              Huh. I used reddit for about 12 years before switching to Lemmy last year and I don’t think I ever noticed ETA. Maybe just different subs used it.

                That was only in the “am I the asshole” sub which was a trash fire you were wise to avoid.

              There are also Extended Three-Letter Acronyms, because e.g. Four-Letter Acronym would be a TLA.
