Comment on Vienam Bans Unskippable Ads, Requires Skip Button to Appear After 5 Seconds - Saigoneer

It’s a normal word, not an acronym. It’s a shortening of “advertisement”, or a further shortening of “advert” which is a shortening of “advertisement”. It surprises me that people do not realize this; it seems obvious.

Thank you Sir Pedantry :D. “ad” just felt wrong somehow, but you are correct.
