Default Acronym Wiki?

I looked around couldn't find one.
Seems like a lot of abbreviations/acronyms etc. would take extensive reading to try and figure out.

I have suggest this, as well. I think with all the new hires in the next few years, it would be of great help.

That list is a good start.

There are a lot of acronyms used on the forums (and elsewhere in common use) that many of the new hires are not familiar with.

It would be a good benefit for this forum.

Suggest one of the moderators take the initiative to set one up and a place where new ones can be added (subject to moderator screening).

Suggest something like an alphabetized list of terms that can be added to, not a thread. A bit more organized, easier for a newbie to find things. Just my 2 cents worth.

Did you look in the “Career Questions” subforum? It’s there.

Great!

As people add items, how will they be inserted alphabetically? Hope that is the plan.

I will add some.

Happy to, just give me a user ID and PW with editor authority. Internet Brands is pretty disengaged from the forums right now.

Users will not be able to insert things into existing posts, so it would be chronological, not alphabetical.

PMail me or another mod with inputs and we'll add them in the right order.
