Valedictions
"Yours, etc." is a great idea for special uses, combining pomposity with just a touch of rude condescension.
Valedictions are a big problem. We desperately need a convention, especially for emails and phone text messages. We need them as "Over and out" signs. I unhappily use YT (short for "Yours Truly") and IHS. IHS can mean "In His Service", "In Hoc Signo Vinces", or the Christogram---see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christogram#IHS. I like triple entendre. As an economist, it feels good to make words work triple overtime.
