Too Long; Didn't Read

Wikipedia defines<strong> tl;dr</strong> as “<em>Too long; didn’t read (abbreviated tl;dr and tldr;) is a shorthand notation added by an editor indicating a passage appeared to be too long to invest the time to digest.” </em>tl;dr was first recorded in the urban dictionary in 2003 and for a very long time, stood for a point of view-almost to the point of being rude. Of late, a new, and more acceptable, usage of tl;dr has emerged- tl;dr is becoming the internet’s way of saying <em>here’s an executive summary of the write-up you are about to read.</em>
