WTF is "TATMA"?

There Are Too Many Acronyms

I googled it. All I could find were articles about a certain girl of that name born in India a few years ago who was born with four legs. She is okay and just has two legs now. Just so ya all know. Still it freaked me out! Lol!

Such a good idea and thanks Mr Jimmy M.

I could have done with this when I first came on here too.

Mind you there were some I still didn't know until today.

Can the list be expanded?

WTF also refers to the year-end tennis World Tour Finals for the top eight ranking men of the year. Very rarely do all of the true top eight compete, as at least one emerges injured and has to be replaced by an alternate.

An acronym I made up on a cat site I was on was PWD-Purring With Delight.

Of all the acronym's out there, my fave is "ERICA". Probably because I was a part of it!

Are we all supposed to already know what "ERICA" is?

Oh, I guess not...

Experiment on
Rapidly
Intensifying
Cyclones over the
Atlantic.

The project directors daughters name was (is) Erica. It was a study of the weak Cape Hatteras low pressure systems that blew up into raging storms along the east coast.

Sorry, I suppose it is more an acronym than abbreviation.

Well I tried to make this a sticky but it seems like I am spinning my wheels. I finally tracked down a Moderator. Apparently we are down to just a handful of moderators and most are on vacation. This is what I sent:

I started a thread a few days ago titled "Abbreviations". Others on the board recommended this thread become a sticky. I do not have the ability to do this. Someone suggested a forum moderator has that ability or can communicate with Alex and make that happen.

Since you are one of the forum moderators, could you make that happen?

Also is it possible to make a threat where the OP can make updates. Normally after about a day, anyone participating in the thread loses the ability to make corrections. But with this particular thread, if that restriction is removed, then I could post updates to the list of abbreviations.

Also it doesn't even have to be me. Someone such as Alex or one of the moderators can capture the List of Abbreviations from the thread and make updates themselves.

This is what I received back:

I'm sorry but we're understaffed, most of the mods are on vacation and we can't even make stickies any more.

As far as editing time goes, this is only Alex can do, we can't do much around here.

PM Alex directly, this just has to be the best thread sticky idea there has been in years. He'll respond.
