Navidad Posted August 29, 2017 Posted August 29, 2017 I only joined two days ago. What I notice are a lot of abbreviations in the posts that seem completely understandable to everyone ----- but me! I guess I will have to LANL in OTU TPOTF. Thanks "Learn a New Lingo" in "Order to Understand" "The Posts on this Forum." By the way, what is a CFR and a NONE? SKOML? "Some Kind of Mormon Lingo?" I have read about the shorthand used in the 19th century that now needs translated by the few folks who are left who can do that. I may have to have a few posts translated for me for a while!
Calm Posted August 29, 2017 Posted August 29, 2017 CFR call for reference...needs a citation and hopefully online link so paraphrases can be checked, quotes read in context and additional info is available for those who want to know. Generally speaking, unless it is commonly known, claims are expected to be supported/documented (and not by pointing to a book or website, but with quotes and direct links or page numbers. If anecdotal, it is enough to say so, but shouldn't get offended if people dismiss such as insufficient evidence.
Calm Posted August 29, 2017 Posted August 29, 2017 Need a link to NONE...search doesn't operate for less than five letter words, I am thinking. I am not familiar with it.
bluebell Posted August 29, 2017 Posted August 29, 2017 (edited) Some you might run into- IIRC means if i remember correctly. IMHO (IMNSHO) means in my (not so) humble opinion. OP refers either to the original post or the original poster. I have no idea what NONE means (other than it just being a capitalized version of the word none) or SKOML.

I think CFR is the only unique one to the board. Thanks so much for the help. I was a school superintendent, so for me CFR always meant the Code of Federal Regulations - a helpful guide to tell me what I could not do or say! Ha!
Rain Posted August 29, 2017 Posted August 29, 2017 I really don't see these used here, but these are pretty common for a number of other places I have been DH - dear husband (really just "husband") DW - dear wife DB - brother DS - sister or son SIL - son-in-law (SIL, BIL, MIL, FIL etc) BFF - best friend (forever) I'm assuming you get the common LDS ones? EQ and EQP, HP, RS and RSP or SRSP, YM, YW, HT, VT, GA, BoM

Rain Posted August 29, 2017 Posted August 29, 2017 Yes, context is important. On LDS boards EQP is elder's quorum president.
