I thought it might be a good idea to start a thread with a list of commonly used abbreviations and acronyms so that newcomers are able to more easily navigate their way around. I must admit, I have found myself confused on a number of occasions with this, so am hopeful it will prove useful.
I guess the best way would be to have an alphabetical list and just copy and paste the previous post and then provide your own additions.
I'll get the ball rolling.
