People use different Acronyms for the same products, but as long as you're clear about it then it's OK.

Some people like myself which are getting old can not remember those codes, it is better for me to just spell out the words to keep from getting confused.

hahaha, how old are you, Littlebits?

I went over the hill 4 years ago and I'm falling down very rapidly. :D

Thanks.:D

Solution, get Jack to add word changing code to the forum, so every time someone uses an acronym, it gets changed to the full name of the product. I'm sure he won't mind.

That would require someone to code the plugin for MyBB.
