I was asked a while back what all the abbreviations I use mean, I seem to use them often and I know I’m not alone there 🙂
Here is a list of what I think are the most used terms, no doubt I have forgotten one or two out (some on purpose for obvious reasons… I still want to retain my confusion powers).
If you can think of any others shout, I’m always interested in learning 😀 (addicted to it tbh)
Why 52? Because I like to be different 😉
