Maybe he drank coffee made from his own beans

P.s. Are there many French as first language (I assume) deaf people in the world who know how to write in English'

English speakers have a fondness for acronyms and general brevity that borders on the offensive to sensitive Latin ears.

You must really love computers if you don't like acronyms. We got it from our government that either thought that they would save paper or thought that if government documents were as confusing as legal documents it would lend them a sense of authority.

No, Heidita, For Your Information is not chatspeak; it is much older than that.

I would think that chatspeak was invented before computers and chat rooms. English speakers have a fondness for acronyms and general brevity that borders on the offensive to sensitive Latin ears.
