I hate whoever changed this nomenclature. It's PM and I will die on this hill.

I am too afraid to search this.. I thought PMs meant menstural cycles in some cultures.. Like british if I am not mistaken.

Turns out most PMs weren't actually private since site admins and mods could see them, so they switched to 'direct message' as a more honest description.

I always thought "PM" stands for "Personal Message", which is more or less an okay description. You send a message to someone "personally", not in-person, but close enough, I suppose.

Prime Minister?

Most TLA's are horribly overloaded (T for 2).

At first I read that as "top-level aliases" and wondered why you meant T for 2.

Then I suddenly realized the more pressing question: if there are top-level aliases, are there sub aliases? And what would they look like?
