I see so many TLA's and other acronyms being used I can't always decipher what someone is talking about. For example, someone could be in the Sexual and Gender forum and say that their ED is causing them problems.

Now does this mean they have Erectile Dysfunction an Eating Disorder or Effective Diameter?

Plus I had to go look up what the Q meant on LGBTQ (dern kids are goin' so fast it used to be just LGBT ... where'd the Q come from!?)

So would it be possible to have a sticky or something that just gives us a list of the most commonly used acronyms on the site so we don't have to go searching Google for them to know what each other is saying?

Edit: Dang it! Now it's LGBTQIA!? What are the new letters for? I can't keep up with this ...

I agree, what does TLA stand for.

Lol ... you caught that huh? TLA is three-letter-acronym. They used so many acronyms at GE when I was there that they actually had a book called The TLA Handbook to let us know what all the letters that were getting thrown around meant.
