Post your Acronym - Please?
I am reletively new to this site and I have figured out some of the jargin, but some of it is over my head and it makes it hard to connect the dots. IMHO for example is "in my humble opinion" (I originally thought it was a dairy product). 
They say "when in Rome do as the Romans do" and I just want to speak the language.

I guess you'd have to specifiy which acronyms you want spelled out.
There's a million of them in the "general" language of the internet, and Munkey posted a good link.. http://www.gaarde.org/acronyms/
But every "topic-specific" area, like Ford Super Duty trucks, will have yet again their own set of acronyms.
I think the posters above have given a pretty good start on the Ford SD (SuperDuty
) acronyms.
