Today's Financial Times Alphaville blog had a post today which included the following sentence:

"In this occasional series we will bring you a summary of the discussion for busy Alphaville readers who might find it a bit tldr."

I'm amused that they used it, and even more amused that they linked to the urban dictionary to define it.

(Alas, no semicolon. That would have been perfect.)

Copy editor probably took it out. Naughty, misplaced semicolons.

God I'm out of it. I had to look it up. If the Financial Times, even on a blog, knows the lingo of the day when I don't, well, I don't know. I guess I should just get out a quill and an inkpot.

And since I've already outed myself as completely un-with-it, where would the semicolon go, anyway?

"tl;dr" for "too long; didn't read"
