DWL

DWL – “Don’t Write Letters”. It means “Yes, I know I’m being imprecise here, or making generalizations without noting specific exceptions, or not fully describing the situation. I’m doing it deliberately. Don’t tell me about it.” Or it means “Yes, I just asked a question, but it was a rhetorical question and I already know the answer.” Or it means “I may be wrong about what I just said, but even if I am I don’t give a damn. Don’t tell me.” In generic, it means “What I just wrote is making your email trigger finger itch. Resist the urge, and don’t send me the email you were just thinking of sending me.”. Japan termin.
