What does FTFY mean? Please use proper language so the rest of us can understand.

Fixed that for you.

It's a very common abbreviation and can be found with a simple web search of "FTFY".

IIRC FTFY means "Fixed That For You". AFAICT it's pretty common to use abbreviated phrases like that here in HN but maybe TPTB will say otherwise. FWIW abbreviations have a long history

Acronyms are typically used for long-winded domain-specific terminology not easily typed common-language terms. Why create all these acronyms? Is typing not easy on a modern swipe keyboard?

I could but it’s faster to type “fixed that for you” so no thanks!
