ussenterprise Posted April 15, 2010 #1 Share Posted April 15, 2010 I have been on several cruises and am about to go on another, but I am new to these forums and have what most will probably consider a stupid question, but if you don't ask, you'll never know. What do "DH", "DW", and "DS" stand for? :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOBOGORDO Posted April 22, 2010 #16 Share Posted April 22, 2010 Is it ok to refer to your current DW as your DFW---maybe even prudent? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kcroxyoursox Posted April 22, 2010 #18 Share Posted April 22, 2010 Yeah, but no one knows how to spell anymore either. And then there's the grammar issue. Best to keep the abbreviations. Because if an adult on these boards doesn't know the difference between your and you're, I'd rather see the tongue-in-cheek "ur." (And don't even get me started on the phrase "should of." I could make a full time job out of correcting people on this one!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
