New data from the Connecticut Coalition to End Homelessness revealed more than 1,000 people are living without shelter in the state — a level that they say is the highest ever recorded.

        Why didn’t you type “read the FA”? For exactly the same reason

        This community is shit now, it’s just bombarded with US news that drowns everything else out

          Because FA is not as common an initialism.

            CT where I live means “Contrôle technique” though. I’d be inclined to specify if I posted that

              It also stands for “computed tomography” but the author foolishly thought that readers could follow context clues

                Sorry champ but you’re wrong. I lived in the US for half a decade and even I struggled to place CT. My first thought was actually that it was a Canadian province. Not everyone is raised thinking America is the defacto for literally everything.

                It’s only contextual in one country though, that’s my point
