0 abbreviation for too long; didn't read: used to comment on something that someone has written, for example on social media:
1 a short summary (= a short, clear description giving the main facts or ideas) of piece of writing or a subject of discussion:
Can we have a TL;DR for those of us with short attention spans?
Each discussion paper should start with a TLDR summarising the main points.
There's sometimes a fine line between including every piece of information about the problem, and making it so long that you get TLDR as a response.
TL;DR is a sad symptom of the malfunctions caused by the internet tsunami.
Some people may also end a post with a TL;DR - that is a short summary of what they've typed because they realize it may be too much text for some people.
