The cover headline? Die Queen.

Context is key.
The shorthand cnt would not bother me because of the context and I would not have gone elsewhere with what it could mean because of context. I do have some words that can catch my attention -but I usually just laugh because it is my thing -not the innocent word or abbreviation's problem
