Not saying anyone is wrong or right here - but with the growing use of phones and tablets - I think that there are going to be more of these rather then less. I shorten things when having to type on my phone screen.
That said however - I myself have had to ask what some "site terms" are. But I just throw it out there and if I get a reply - I learn. If not - then whatever. I will look it up on Google or something. Nuthin to make my day worse fer sure!

One of the problems with this kind of site is when someone new comes on asking a ton of questions without ever trying to use "Search". I always search before asking but I found that the search results weren't very good. Now that I am catching on to the acronym's I am getting much better search results.

Yes - and I have trouble with the "search" function as well - especially on my phone. In fact it is almost unusable on my phone.
I have to click on "Advanced Search" very quickly or the search box disappears altogether...

Acronyms make you THINK.

What words / parts might apply in the syntax?

I didn't know much when I hatched (still don't, some say

), but THINKING is always a good thing for the noggin'.

My old man always said, "Think, buddy..."

Wish he'd said about what to think, or how, why, etc., but he didn't. So I just think harder...
