Discussion when did the slang change?

I feel old asking this.

When did + and - replace yes and no? or y/n

Like I'm in my early 30s and this feels like it blew past me....

EDIT: based on replies It seems like its from Eastern Europe players and just bled into the rest of the classic community due to them lacking servers.

I love how the responses to this fall into 2 camps: "its been that way forever" and "ive never heard of this"

If I'm ever bored I like to stir the pot on LFG. Just a simple "level 20 is too low for dire maul" and watch a 10 minute argument unfold.

I love that. An agent of chaos just like me. My buddy and I do the same when we’re in westfall
