MSE abbreviations

SoScrooge

Hi

Have been reading this site for nearly a month now and come across a lot of abbreviations. Figured out some like

OS old style
OH other half
HTH hope that helps
BOGOF buy one get one free

But there are lots more like

DD ?

Is there a place to look them up? Or could anybody add on to this list (with keys, off course) I am sure all Newbies will be grateful.

Thanks muchly

Do a search of this forum as this has come up a couple of times recently

This keeps on coming up.

Tell you what, how about everyone posts here the abreviation they use on MSE regurarly.

We'll put together an the definitive MSE abreviations list I can put on the Unofficail a-z

But it'd have to only include ones used regurarly or elso it might end up being VERY long

(and remember, it's always better not to use abreviations at all so that newbies can follow )

thank you, all. It makes my MSE read much easier. ;-)

sra, a-z index is a good idea, but I would not know where to start. I am not a techie at all.
