Abbreviations
 
I will be honest. From time to time , there are a few I do not know. A lot of members use abbreviations, as well as myself. They are a time saver, and I value them. But when trying to be helpful to a noobie (I have been there, and still am in some aspects), what the heck does n;o#r87@KL;JX-F%9kj<n mean? You may as well be talking about an inner combustion manifold relay, or a torsion intake pushrod valve. Please, anyone who regularly uses abbreviations and assumes everyone else knows exactly what you are trying to say, do not assume anymore. It only makes an ass out of you and me. Get it? Ass, u, me? Post here what the abbreviations are, and what they mean for future referance, including old school. Then we can all continue to abbreviate, because we all will know what the heck we are talking about. :great:

This is awesome! Anyone in the future who searches "abbreviations" might be able to understand a little better what the heck we are talking about without pretending that they do. I know I did that for to long. Please, no matter how inconspicious you think your abb might be, log it with the full meaning?
