Joe Ketzer referenced “telegram style” in a “Cogito” post comment 3/30/2022. That got me looking, and I found a copy of Orville Wright’s telegram, dated Dec. 17, 1903. Notice there are no pronouns, or articles the, a, an, which are used in Germanic languages, such as English, as Joe pointed out.

Every letter cost a lot of money, so the information was reduced to what was absolutely necessary...
