TLA's, jargon... and the newbie?
After reading the forum for a week I'm more than a little confused by the jargon/terminology whatever you want to call it, that's in regular use.
I appreciate that abbreviations and other terms fall into regular use quite quickly, but it may be offputting to a newbie.
I might suggest that some of the 'old hands' collaborate and create a sticky post, or perhaps even a separate node for the jargon that appears on this forum? Even if a term has several meanings, as with many languages, there's no reason to retain confusion?
Just an idea.
