Kent has suggested I add a post with a key to the various abbreviations you may come across here. I thought it was a good idea, but I need your help. I’m sure I missed quite a few, so I hope you’ll comment to let me know which ones I need to add – please include any abbreviations you may have seen in your travels throughout the web, and then I’ll come back and put them in this post.
