Please excuse my ignorance but I’ve seen the acronyms LOS and IMO used all over this forum and I have not been able to decode them. :o

Can one of the moderators post a list of commonly used acronyms for us non U.S. citizens who don’t normally use them.

Thanks

When I was loaned my 'red plates' I was also 'issued' with a log book in which I had to record any trips taken outside the province. TiT

TiT "This is Thailand"

Am I getting it, any browney points? :o

Spot on! I believe that Trink penned it originally.

You may also spot that I use FG for my Thai girlfriend. This originated in the O.F.C.S. and refers to her morning job of guarding the fridge thereby not allowing access to the beer therein before *chang* time (12 noon) - "Fridge Guard"

TLA = Three Level Abbreviation

Actualy it's Three Level Acronym.

The old IBM mainframe hardware manuals used to use AMD for Air Movement Device (maybe they still do). F#cked if I know why they couldn't just use "fan"....
