No quote today, just some interesting old school customs (if you don't know what a calling card is, google it):
p.c.: An abbreviation of the french phrase pour condoler, written in the lower left corner of a calling card to express condolences upon a death or calamity.
p.f.: An abbreviation of the french phrase pour féliciter, written in the lower left corner of a calling card to convey congratulations--for example, upon a national holiday, promotion, engagement, or marriage.
p.p.c.: An abbreviation of the french phrase pour prendre congé, written in the lower left corner of a calling card to say goodbye before departure from a diplomatic post.
p.r.: An abbreviation of the french phrase pour remercier, written in the lower left corner of a calling to express thanks--for example, for a party or gift.
