Forum jargon and Acromyns

[martycon]

I am with you Cricket! Members have listed many definitions in response, and this is appreciated. Could these be compiled in the Dictionary in a separate section, perhaps Jargon Technical. Personally, I would also like to see a section on Jargon Social. This may help me to avoid being offensive by misinterpreting IMHO as an expression of boredom.

Ok, so why can't we add these more commonly used abbreviations to the same tag cloud (Is that the right term?) that make other typed words I see in threads appear green and linked?
Drone was a recent one I noticed in the Who/What/Where challenge, every time I used that word it linked to another site about drones. (Wasn't my doing, it just happened...)

I'm sure I've seen others like lens, Canon, aperture etc etc do the same..?

Just a thought, maybe it's not possible?

I notice after posting this that drone has linked, but lens canon and aperture haven't...oh well....

the word links are set to site advertisers. So if someone types a word that relates to one of the site advertisers, it links you to their website. We also, in the New To Photography forum, have an additional set that link to the meanings of things like aperture, shutter speed, ISO etc, to help explain those terms to new members.

"HTFWIK" - not strictly an acronym used with photography but one that I tend to use a lot, particularly at work.
