I know what 3 of those mean. I am not loading FNG.

These are supposed to be for terms that people wouldn't understand for a GMT. They can google the ordinary everyday acronyms. They have to learn how google works sooner or later!

Gotta remember to remove that one. It was b+, but it won't recognize symbols and punctuation. :cool:

Ah dang, we're going to be there for a few hours in the morning for coffee if you can/want to sneak away.

Bill, good call on A4WD. No one actually knows what it does, they think its like having AWD (which its not).

In my house PITA and DD refer to the same thing, or person rather! :rotfl:
