Last week, I sent an email to a contractor to let him know when he could expect his equipment to arrive. I told him the ESD was 8/28 with a delivery window of 8/31-9/3.
He called me a few hours later after he read the email. As soon as he started talking, I could tell he was one of the older contractor guys. This was how the conversation went.
"How can I help you?"
"I just read your email. I don't know anything about this twitter stuff...what does E-S-D mean?"
(Pause as I try not to chuckle) "It stands for estimated ship date."
"Oh. All right."
I would have sworn ESD was used long before "this twitter stuff." Maybe I was wrong.
