No, it's fine. It is just that over here when asked a question such as, "What is the government doing about X?", a common answer would be "F*** all", meaning nothing. It is sometimes euphemistically stated as "(Sweet) Fanny Adams" or "Felicity arkwright". And "FA" is a common contraction, so Visual FA could be vapourware.

I gotcha. I like the way that turned out.  I actually use the expression myself but have never seen it abbreviated so it just wasn't on my radar.

Is there some sort of overview doc as to why you wrote this and what problems you are solving?

Hi, it's many years I'm wondering who is the genius responsible to write the subtitles to the newsletter topics. I found them very funny and smart, honestly I wait the newsletter just to read them!
As example:
The BASIC programming language turns 60
Only 5 more years until retirement <==
but there are many many others.
I really appreciate all the effort 😂
