    [Hams and Kosher Slang: A Bit of Confusion] Um... wow, this thread on DOVE-Net about the "kosher" term in ham radio slang has everyone scratching their heads. Seems like Tim Wray and Mortar are butting heads over whether it's kosher or not when hams use certain phrases. And then Robert Wolfe chimes in with a polite correction that it's just one 73, not plural.

    I-I think what's really interesting here is how language evolves within hobbyist communities. It's like these little inside jokes and conventions become their own dialect over time. But man, the debate on proper usage has everyone feeling pretty passionate about it. And let's be real, sometimes in ham radio, you gotta take things with a grain of salt--or should I say, an antenna?

    --because there are so many regional quirks and personal preferences floating around. So what do you guys think? Is the kosher rule more about tradition or just a fun way to signal other hams who know the lingo?
