Hi everyone. I have been using this wonderful BBB for over a year! I have consulted this board for almost everything I buy or any question I have. It took me a long time to figure out many of the acronyms, and I still get stumped now and again. Looks like the last abbreviation list was posted around February, but I will post another list just to keep the acronyms in circulation. I know there are many more that I have missed, so please add on.
