Give us newby's a break

[scottfab]

Use of acronyms in moderation would be good.
The idea of showing how knowledgeable one is by introducing
new acronyms that are certainly not understood is arrogantly,
and blatantly rude.

Also not introducing or using new acronyms out of the blue
would be great.
I would think until it's added to the sticky list of terms
it (as has been mentioned) should be constantly defined while used e.g. FT(Flat Tire).

Above all beating up on newbies for complaining about
unfamiliar acronyms should not happen and in fact should
be banned as unhelpful.

Creating a new list to be held up at the gold standard sticky
is fine too. I would hope it to be minimalistic though. Putting
every acronym under the sun in there seems ludicrous.
Only terms used OFTEN on this forum should qualify.
AND there should be a space between alphabetically separate
groups for ease of use. IMHO

Finally, there's no stopping the laziness of using acronyms but
basic clarity of communication suggests not only minimizing it
but discouraging it. At minimum a thread should, at first opportunity,
define the acronym in a low numbered or fist post then use it openly.
As was said, having to refer to a dictionary of terms before
being able to get through a post is just wrong.

This thread topic is "Give us newby's a break".
Well, lets do just that. (WLDJT)

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!
