Sorry I didn't give you credit for the list, I didn't remember who I copied it from. I also don't remember what I had for breakfast today, but that is another story/problem...

As for more abbr., this one applies outside of the tech world just as equally as it does inside the tech world:

I’m still lost on the highlighted portion. That kind of stuff is why I just choose to spell everything out. Having things easier to type isn’t much of a benefit if nobody can read it.

"Amature dentist hobby"?

Why does that phrase make me want to run screaming from the room? smile
