Chip and pin
OK, so my spelling and grammar may not be the best, but I try hard and I do aim to stick to the Queens English fighting internetisms (a perfectly cromulent word) that I find unpalatable. It would seem I am fighting a loosing battle. ‘pls‘ as a replacement for ‘please‘ is now used on some chip and pin machinesm, as in ‘pls enter your pin‘. It’s not quite as bad as ‘plz‘ (a term that makes me want to get out the nuke and start lobbing them about willy nilly) but I really would prefer my merchants to communicate with me in English. How long until the chip and pin machines tell you ‘n00b‘ when you get the pin number wrong? Anyone trying to use these terms in scrabble with meet a swift, painful and disproportionately violent death by my hand.
