These links to quilting acronyms are very helpful. I too can get lost on the content of the message!

If you have a printer just print them off so you can reference them while reading a thread and it's all right there so you won't have to go back and forth on the computer.
That was a no brainer. :oops:

How funny!! Thanks so much for helping me everyone. I appreciate it so much. I feel so dumb sometimes. Guess Gods not through with me yet I'm still learning!

Don't worry - no one minds you asking anyway.

I think abbreviations leave a lot to interpretation.
It can mean what the reader wants it to mean at the moment.
Some of them tickle me. OBW is the hardest one for me to remember. I am just beginning to know it is one block wonder before I have to look it up. Some of them I just ignore.
Question: Is there a reason we don't use our family names instead of DH (husband) DD (daughter) DS (son) and so on? Is there jeopardy in using their first name?

I know what you mean by OBW. It always takes me a minute to consider the context in which it's used. To me it means Oh, By the Way. But, I guest that would be OBTW!?

The one that confuses me is SIL, because it has 2 meanings. Son-in-law and Sister-in-law. Sometimes when I'm reading a post, it doesn't make sense. Then I change the meaning - and it makes more sense!

It was awhile before I could understand what everyone was writing.

I thought DD was for Dumb Daughter! LOL
