TLAs, Extended TLAs and Abbreviated TLAs

Postby Greg B on Fri Dec 31, 2004 6:14 am

TLA = Three letter acronym
Extended TLA = Four or five letter acronym
Abbreviated TLA = Two letter acronym

Some of us love TLAs in all forms, here are a few for reference (list will be expanded as I remember more of them)..

PHD = Press here dummy (used to describe certain types of cameras)
IMO = In my opinion
IMHO = In my humble opinion
HTH = Hope that helps
OTOH = On the other hand
NFI = No idea
GLW = Good lady wife
RTFM = Read the manual (never used at this forum, one of the things that sets it apart from others)
Greg - - - - D200 etc
