    Just Asking

    is there a dictionary or thesaurus on M4C that defines all the acronyms being used in posts ?

    i was reading a 4 page post with replys that used so many acronyms my mind was swimming in a pool of confusion trying to recall what they all mean, personally i try to avoid them because typing out the full name only takes a second or three longer.

    ooooh !! one other thing.., Mr. Administrator, could you please add a thumbs up icon ? many times i just want to agree with a members statement or opinion and would just like to give a thumbs up.

    thank you sir

    I am going to say no to both, but you can always ask the poster what they mean (if you cannot follow along).
