<p>[QUOTE="jtlee321, post: 2788818, member: 73983"]So I need to stop using commonly used terms and spell everything out, just in case there is someone who does not know what an abbreviation means? They can do exactly what I did with most abbreviations, figure it out by either kindly asking questions or making an educated guess. This is how learning is accomplished. </p><p><br /></p><p>I come from the coin side where we use abbreviations all the time, such as B&M, LCS, FBL, FSB, FB, FT, FS, 5FS, PL, DPL, DMPL, NT, AT, etc... etc... A vast majority of the users here know these terms, granted a few don't and when they don't they ask nicely, "What does xxxx mean? I'm new here and just trying to figure things out." We then nicely explain it to them and then they know. I'm not a paper money guy, it took me a while to figure out what PPQ, EPQ and the such meant. I did figure it out, but I didn't go into a thread and hound someone for not spelling it out simply because I did not understand what it meant. When I'm new to a game, I don't expect people to stop the game and teach me all the rules. It's my responsibility to learn them and ask questions along the way, when I am comfortable enough with the rules, I jump into the game.</p><p><br /></p><p>Maybe I misinterpreted the way you wrote your post, but I took it as fairly snarky and with contempt that I had not spelled something out for you, or possibly for someone who did not know what it meant.
