Could you guys use the real words the first time you mention something in your posts?
And then if you need to mention it again, THEN abbreviate.
I know what BOM means so you could say Block of Month and then say BOM rather than repeating the entire words.
It is annoying to try to find out what the meaning of something is before you can understand what the person is talking about.
Pretty Please?

You can also do a search for abbreviations to find out what they mean. The search feature is at the top of the page.

The searching is what's annoying.
I know I'm in Rome, but I gotta figure out how to get everywhere.
I have already got some of 'em down pat so I will get them figured out in time.
If I can quilt, I can figure this board out too.
Thanks for the website too.

Some people print off the list of abbreviations and keep it by the computer for reference until they are comfortable with using them. That might help you!
