I can't tell you how many times I've had to look up an abbreviation to know what someone is talking about, lolIt is like using initials rather than the term which we do quite often. Consider BBT. What in the world does that mean? It means bare bottom tank to most here at R2R. The correct way is to say BBT (bare bottom tank) and then once the definition is made you can use BBT or bbt in your comments, thread etc. We ASSume that everyone knows the lingo. Same with corals. If we gave the common name with the scientific name in parenthesis we have a solid ID and can then continue to use the common name. Solution simple is we follow it. I have another pet peeve then is those that do not explain acronyms be they corals or "Reef Tank" slang.
