Acronyms - What does THAT mean??

[Katdarling]

No problem at all, Kat. I'm delighted that you did this and if my post added a little impetus to getting this going, I'm happy to hear it!

I definitely can relate to not wanting to ask what something meant. When I first started, it probably would have derailed a lot of threads if I kept making post after post asking what something meant. Your spreadsheet is a great place for people to go. I hope they sticky it so it's easy to find.

It was an idea that we had for awhile now, but yes, your post gave me just that needed little nudge to get us going with it. DPL did a great part of this work, even thru some times that made doing it difficult for him. I applaud him. LOUDLY. Thank you, pard'ner.

I'm sure people will bookmark the Google Doc in the event that ECF chooses not to Sticky it.

Great idea! I added a few.

I thought of a couple (CTA=Call To Action...) but couldn't figure out how to add them...

 

[Katdarling]

I tip my hat to you fine lady for a job well done! Even if your one of those wierd people who dose a spread sheet on porpose with out being under direct threat from their boss

I forgot to add that I am DEFINITELY one of those weird people.

Kurtsey, Ms. Robino! Thank you so much!

DPL is horizontal at the moment, but on his behalf, I bow to you.

Thanks, Robin. We needed a place to knock off some of the never-ending calories, that still appear daily, over in Kat's perennial vaperversary thread. [emoji3]

Dammit, DPL, I said you weren't here, and you bop right in! Make a liar outta me, why dontcha!

Added it for you

For those not familiar with spreadsheets, if you want to add a term: select the box number, either above or below where the next logical space for the new term should go, right click and choose either 'Insert 1 above' or 'Insert 1 below'. That will give you a new line to use. Enter your term in the box that magically appears next to the number, move to the next area to the right of the term and type in what the term means.

Then just close the program. To double check that you did it correctly, just re-open the document and check if your term is still there (it really should stay put )

If you have any problems, post them in this thread or post the term and definition, someone will be more than happy to enter it or answer your questions.

Have fun!

to you Kat and DP! Well done, I wished that there was something like this when I first joined ECF. It took me weeks to figure out what people were talking about with all of the acronyms flying about. This will save future and present members so much time!

Thanks, Robin. Exactly my reply as well.

You can also just go to the end of the list and add in what you like. The list is sortable. Simply click on the box that is the column header ("A") and you'll see an arrow that gives you a drop down box. From there, you can sort the list.

Play with it! Have fun! This belongs to all of us.

Oh ENAUD, thanks so much (from both of us)! We do hope it has some value.

I've introduced the thought for a discussion. I don't feel right just doing it without approval...

Thanks DP and Kat. I added a couple, it's cool. Electrofag.....my favorite,,...should be E-... though.

Thank you! That was very kool of you to do. Just so you know, I'm fine either way, and I have a feeling DPL will agree. Whatever works best for ECF and all of us has my vote.


Having said that...... this could be fun! I've never been Stickied.

Not an acronym, but here's another term I don't quite understand...

squonk / squonking

???

Hi KatMamma - that's squeezing you do to a bottom feeder, such as a Reo, to feed the juice up into the atty or carto. First you squonk, then you fire & vape.

Was that helpful?

I must admit that it was VERY difficult NOT to type:
"That means squeezing it until the liquid comes out from the top ."

Oh, jeez... sorry.
