I am clearly a newby still and have been on this forum for about 3-4 weeks.  I am still try to catch up with the lingo and was thinking about making an Acronym Dictionary - does anyone already have one?  If not, please share any you think should be added.   I want to use it to help other Newbies!

Thanks for posting this message. I also would like this dictionary. I had my VSG on 03/22/2012, and am definitely new to this forum. I love reading everyone's thoughts as they go through this process, but at times am confused about certain things. Thanks!
