Re: OT Use of the terms 'DH' and 'DD'

I beg your pardon.
If you search my eposts, you'll for sure find references to DW (my Swedeheart).

I have never encountered the usage of 'DH' and 'DD' until I came to Usenet.
I've interpreted them to mean 'Dear Husband' and 'Dear Daughter'. Is this
usage regional? I seem to get the impression it may be used mainly in the
South, but I may be wrong. It also seems to be confined to women - I've
never seen a husband refer to his wife as DW, nor have I seen it used with
sons.

For the first time, Google yielded nothing when I did a search on this.
Thanks for any background on the use of these terms.
