It's a habit Oswald picked up from a misunderstanding of how mobile telephones worked, and now he's been told it's endearing too many times to ever stop.
Don't you worry, we've done plenty of resolving. But everyone must take a moment to breathe eventually.
That's how we wrote telegrams when they were still commonplace. The practice started during the war, I believe, as a full word is far less likely to be lost in the conversion from radio code to writing than a single mark.
Certainly more than that, but I stopped counting quite some time ago.

Almost. He was quite audibly surprised, and demanded why I hadn't told him.
He's also rather occupied with it now.
