    Default what do initials mean?

    Where on the board do I go to find the meaning of initials, like DH means Dear Husband?

    I don't know about any official list but I can tell you that DH does not always mean Dear Husband ... Yes, I do sometimes think I should change my use name. But I've been dhsewsalittle on multiple sewing forum for years, and I like it.

    Not trying to give you a hard time. Your post just made me laugh.

    One still has to take context into consideration when deciding what an acronym may mean!

    Ok, thanks......I have subscribed to those threads so I can find them. Still think they should be in the help section for us dummies. At least I now have a cheat sheet. Thanks Board Friends. Now I wish I had one when I am texting those millennials. Ha!
