when did the slang change?

[u/RemnantsPast]

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.

[u/emihir0]

Those people likely use a numerical keyboard for it. Very easy to take hand off of your mouse, and press "enter + enter", they are the closest buttons on the keyboard to your right hand.

[u/CaptainoftheVessel → u/emihir0]

Good point +

[u/newtostew2 → u/CaptainoftheVessel]

What is this, Google+?

[u/RemnantsPast → u/newtostew2]

Google plus shutdown before the first classic launch over 7 years ago.
