DL Glossary?
« on: June 06, 2009, 03:46:09 PM »
Just a thought I had, looking at some of the stat topic discussions. For the newcomers to the site, would it be possible to have some sort of glossary of definitions as a sticky here? (If there is one already somewhere, I couldn't find it. ;o)

Just noticed some acronyms & phrases get used a lot, and everyone just assumes everyone knows them. Most notable ones I've noticed are ITE, ITD, ID, YMMV and Heal-Lock (not sure this needs to be explained, but no harm in it, right?)

Not yet...  At least not as of Thursday...

In fact the link to the forums on the "Thanks for Voting" Page still links to them.

I remember OHKO confused me for a while when I first came here.

And PCHP needs its own dissertation. It's really not an intuitive concept, despite how well it works.

I sent that to you a while ago to look over, Super, and you never got back to me >_>

Lemme find it.  I'll look for it tonight.  Need to edit it, but...otherwise, should work well.
