I have, l think, now worked it out.....eeek!
Do any other members get annoyed with abbreviations?
Do you google them, try and work them out yourself or wish their was an ‘Abbreviation Corner’ aka AC!

Agree with you 100% Art.
I find it really annoying, and hardly ever know what they are talking about. Like you, I have to go off and google to try and find out what they mean.
As you say on the one I hi-lighted, I never could understand what the poster meant, so I lose interest in what they are saying.
It is either to try and get away with offensive swearing, or else just plain lazy IMO.
