more etymology
I think that Jos. Larson is mistaken about the etymology of DSW.
First of all the transliteration of the Russian words for "good bye"
(literally "until (the next) meeting") should be "Do Svedaniya".
(Note the V rather than the W). Second of all, the etymology I heard
makes more sense to me, i.e. Delete Selectively, Wait for response.
