I've used quite a few forums that use that and other acronyms, yep annoying at first, then using them becomes an annoying habit!

Sorry, it's pretty common forum slang, I assumed it'd be so on here also, or does DD here mean Dear Dog?

When you're using a forum with thousands of members, they wouldn't know who you meant if you used names, DD is faster & easier than typing my daughter.

It's very commonly used on numerous unrelated forums.

I see, never used or heard it myself, but then , that means nothing.

Cant get my head round why you need to add the Dear... before you mention A,B, or C,

Why not just say son , daughter, hubby, OH and so on..

People seem to understand who you mean here well enough, maybe we are unique
