Noobs & jargon

[Nocigtax]

How about a glossary? Or, if there is one already make it more prominent so the green horns can't help but find it. This culture is identical to the computer nerds of the late 70's early 80's. The techno babble and jargon in those circles was too intense for most people to get around. Just a humble observation from a mystified noob.

I hear ya. There is so much jargon around that it can be difficult to understand and oftentimes those who've been around a while don't think to write things out when talking to a newbie (I've been guilty of that, myself)

Some of the most common acronyms such as PG, VG, etc have been set up to provide some explanation when you hover your mouse pointer over them. I'm sure a lot of people have found that useful

Let me dig around and see if there is already a useful glossary posted somewhere, I want to say I've seen one before

Here is a basic glossary on the Infozone site: Forum Glossary - ECF InfoZone

Certainly doesn't cover everything as it's taken from an older forum post.

What sort of terms, in particular, would you find most useful to have defined?

All the abbreviations & acronyms are greek to me. Terminology for equipment is mystifying as well. I'm catching on OK but the initial jaw dropping lack of comprehension was mind bending. Lot of very helpful info over the last 24 hours. Great group of folks.

It is totally amazing how quickly the terminology becomes second nature.
Give it some time and you will be a pro in understanding all the talk.

Try this one. => e-Cigarette Jargon and Terms - eCig 101

None of these is 100% complete, but this one is better than average.

As often as this question comes up perhaps the mods could possibly have the link to the glossary stickied in the new new members information section or on the faq links.
