I noticed that too, I think some abbreviations have become so standard that they have become words in their own right i.e 'phone and 'flu'. What struck me most was that the article was as recent as 1933 - I would have expected it to be 1833!
I wrote flu as 'flu' at work and everyone laughed at me.
My funny newspaper article was when I was looking up my GRt grandparents. Was coverage of a church service and said "and Mrs Dunn brought her donkey".
Campbell, Dunn, Dickson, Fell, Forest, Norie, Pratt, Somerville, Thompson, Tyler among others
