Yeah, HDOH is not obvious. A basic rule of style is to explain non-obvious acronyms the first time they are used. Happy to education you.

And I knew that but needed to be reminded. It doesn’t have to be burdensome; I just need to remember to put the full meaning the first time and say what abbreviation I’ll be using for it in the rest of the article. I apologize and thank you for the heads-up. Any input that helps me make the content more understandable is earnestly desired, so thank you for letting me know.

I did initially think it was weird that you didn’t recognize those acronyms but I’ve been so close to this issue for so long that I don’t even realize what terms might not be familiar to normal people.

Brown Deer, you’re not normal. You’re extraordinary. =)
