[QUOTE="Teri Anne, post: 2313212, member: 118816"] You make a good point. For those of us that have been in the shooting/hunting/reloading game for decades the abbreviations make sense. However for the new and up coming group of people who join this sight a simple explanation of an abbreviation or acronym would help them to understand the gist of the conversation without a puzzled look on their face. I've been an instructor for much longer than I would like to admit to. The things a good instructor will do is 1. Always explain any abbreviations or acronyms that will be used during any discussion. 2. Always have 10 different approaches to explain a topic of discussion. Not everyone comprehends things in the same manner. 3. Be patient, the light bulb doesn't necessarily come on instantaneously. 4. There is never such a thing as a dumb question. If someone asks one it simply means that they don't understand and there are most likely several others in the group who are wondering the same thing but afraid to ask for some reason or another. [B]Also keep in mind that during our conversations here we knowingly or not are imparting information to others. Make sure that it is factual and accurate information. [/B]If you are stating an opinion, which we all do let everyone know that you are simply stating an opinion. Let's keep the discussion as lively and friendly as possible. [/QUOTE]
