Drowning in acronyms.......

[Darkstar52]

When you set up the page could you use the word "Abbreviation" in the title? This would cover the abbreviations with less than and more then three letters and those acronyms? that are not pronounceable. An "abbreviation translation" would be most helpful thank you all.

Causes Serious Aggravation

Im used to the Abbreviations with all the UPF, ZPF, THD, TIF, ShTR, VARs, AVR, FCR, EXC, ROT, STAT, RTD, ETD etc etc

As with many things, its only the misuse of term that is destructive. Mind you it can get a little hairy when colloquialisms are thrown in, and thats only IIRC, and just FWIW, and strictly IMHO and in the most humble of senses. lmfao. or my fave Pomsl...P ON msl....
