Hi all, is there a list of abbreviations used on here?  It's quite baffling to see "You need to LCA with a DBF on a SRT" (or whatever) when you don't know what they mean.

Google. Or ask the poster WTH they're talking about.

There are too many boards here for any centralised abbreviations list to be supportable.

Not prepared to gurgle all of them. Neither would I read a book in a language I wasn't fluent in.

What does gurgle mean?

DoaM

Auto-correct ... or the OP's colloquial term for Google.

OP perhaps need to understand that in life you get out what you put in.

' Not prepared to...' just sounds so entitled....

 But you expect us to take time out to explain them to you 🙄😂

No. I'd just buy a phrase book.
