    You sent me down a mini rabbit hole!

    It’s so weird to me that people decided yes “November” and “uniform” are great words for rapid communications. Uncle was already in there so nephew or niece would be fine, or even like net idk.

    Also have never seen alpha spelled “Alfa” in my life but it’s actually in there, bonkers
