Abbreviation

Postby MJLFR » Sep 16th, '08, 13:06



Hi All,

Sorry for the question but as English is not my native language I miss some of them.
I understand CIB, CTW, RRTCM and also DL, TL, FCoin ... :wink:
But I can figure out what C.U.P.S. means.

Could someone help me (if it is not an exposure of course) ?

Regards,
Mathieu

I think we should have a sticky explaining C.U.P.S. so no one has to feel stupid by asking.

Barton: Have you read the Bible, Pete?
Pete: Holy Bible?
Barton: Yeah.
Pete: Yeah, I think so. Anyway, I've heard about it.

Yeah, I thought for a long time that I shouldn't ask cause it must be an encrypted magic term. :?

...or just put it in one/all of the 5 stickies already there. I keep my computer at a relatively high resolution - but if we keep adding stickies there won't even be any visible posts when the page is loaded. I can only imagine what those with a lower resolution see :shock:

Isn't it weird that there's no abbreviation for abbreviation.... :?

Nah, I think feeling stupid should be part of the TM initiation ceremony. I was forced to lick Iain's toilet clean when I joined, but that's a whole new thread....

Other than abbr. and abbrev. - both recognised by the Oxford English Dictionary. Haha! Have at you, Mandrake!
