Re: Give us newby's a break
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!

Re: Give us newby's a break
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.

Re: Give us newby's a break
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...

Re: Give us newby's a break
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... My .02 ....................

Re: Give us newby's a break
I'll jump on this before others do.
That's 3 cents
