I have a silly question I am scared to post in GD
What does eom and n/t stand for? I just can't figure it out.

2. eom means end of message and n/t means no text.
Meaning that there is no text in the message box.

it's a way of saying that there's nothing in the message box, and you can learn all you need to know about the post from the subject line.

generally, all anybody really reads is the subject line before accusing you of being a neocon fascist war enabler, so there's that.


fuck that #5 bullshit. i started writing when there were no replies.

6. check out our handy DU glossery
but to answer your immediate question

eom = end of message
n/t = no text (in text box like here)

both signify the answer is in the subject line

here's the glossary though

17. Oh that...
I had to Google the terms to figure it out -- But posting any question in the GD can cause a flambe' fest.

Whatever you do, go back there and ask them "Why is Hillary such a RW Tool?"
