Ah, thank you very much. You know, we all know US-ians love their appreviations, but without the right context they are just confusing.
I just figured it would be obvious in the context of "person who won the 2016 US presidential popular vote" mb.
Somehow it is annoying for a lot people when appreviations are used and people expect to know the context.
Would you know the Context when I talk about FJS buying tanks that not even the manufacturer liked, or the planes that became known as "the widow maker"
You were expected to know the context which is the content of my comment before replying, yes.
No, because we're used to get full names... I didn't even know Hillary Clinton has a middle name. In german media she's always just Hillary Clinton.
And I think this is some US defaultism the world shakes it's head over.
