    NOI, no offense intended. Its a pity you don't see this more often in posts. It could save a lot of misunderstanding.

    Abbreviations

    Today we use a lot of three letter abbreviations. There is a list at the end of the pages, but there seem to be a lot more in common use. Some of them I can figure out, but a lot leave me scratching my head. Is it possible to update the list to include more definitions for abbreviations?
