As spatial data professionals- indeed as data professionals generally - we have all been in similar situations, either inside or looking in… so VERY relatable!
(note that the “98 minute documentary…” “about the men - and one woman” he mentions was – so very sadly! – a fiction generated for his routine…)

To react on subject
I never abbreviate functions; I want to read them all so that when I read back the programming code in a month a year or 10 years it still makes sense to me without reading my remarks

Hello English-speaking #filmfans and cineasts in the #fediverse. I could need some #mastohelp.
Is there something like a widely accepted and known abbreviation for the expression "original version/track with (English) subtitles" in #English? (I am thinking about a similar short form, like the German #OmU for "Original mit Untertiteln").
Asking for a friend. ;) All hints are greatly appreciated. Thank you!
