IT’S 1917 and Winston Churchill receives a letter from Lord Fisher. It contains the earliest example of OMG |(Oh My God). Did the toffs invent text speak? WTF! (Winston Talks French!):

Fisher, whose favorite closing line was “Burn This!!!”, would probably have gotten in trouble nowadays for indiscreet e-mails.
I’d forgotten that Fisher even wrote to Churchill after the Dardanelles fiasco; wonder whether Churchill was returning the correspondence? Fisher pretty much threw Churchill over on that one.
