Why do so many people abbreviate adverts/advertisements to "adds".. where is the extra d coming from ?

If you watch adds, advertisers put their D where they want.

I'm with you there. When I see "adds", I want to know where they're coming from and who's going to tank them.

Ads, on the other hand, those I'm content with knowing my adblocker is taking care of it.
