O.K. guys:

I've got my SPG and my BC or BCD down. Along with ABT , NDL, SI and CESA.

Some of the abbreviations that you guys use so freely and comfortably have got this newbie stumped.

How about a list of commonly used abbrev.s or acronyms for us learners?

(And their meanings, of course)
 
Ow! O.k., I feel stupid. should have used the "search" function. Sorry. I should have made use of a variation of the old computer acronym : RTFM
 
Digger54 Thanks for asking I didn't know that resource was there either.

El Orans, my hatta's off to you. Salaam
 
sir links alot to the rescue :D pdq
 
its funny how often this question comes up actually. I don't mind it being repeated every now and then. Glad you were able to learn what you need to.
 
I found it interesting that in one of the posts from 2003, someone had to list "bp/w- you'll see that mentioned sometimes". How things have changed!
