Greetings All,
Quick question as a newbie. Is there a listing or link for all the various abbreviations that are used on the TD forums? I realize there is a lot of language that developes over time and is taken for granted. Just a bit of a learning curve for us newbies pouring thru old forum pages looking for inspiration (like what's a MEC wizard build). And thank you to all the wonderful and generous members of this great community. My new addiction will serve me well much to my wifes consternation, Thanks..... Spud
Update
Thanks Everyone who replied. Here is my first draft of those submitted abbreviations. I'm sure more will appear but this is a huge help as I pour thru older entries on the forum. Apologies if my editing omitted anything listed...... Spud
