Thanks, one of my pet peeves too!

If it seems important I will look them up.

PKK, I don't know what it stands for, but I do know it is the abbreviation used for the Kurds.

Or at least the Kurds that Turkey et al consider terrorists.

UFG is a good one, really looks like it means something LOL!

In this case UFG = Used For Good...

Thanks for the reply!

Heh.

My first made up word and it can really be an abbreviation!

Serious, you don’t know what PKK means?

DOES ANYBODY ELSE ON THIS THREAD KNOW WHAT IT MEANS?

Why put it in a post if nobody can read it or understand it?

One more point, thanks for putting up with me....it IS okay to use a made up abbreviation. But there is a technique.

Let’s say you are writing a post about the SYmbionese Libertion Army. I made that up let us assert. Now that is a very long phrase and if you plan to mention it a bit, write it out in full first, then put the temporary abbreviation right after in parenthesis.

Like this....

“It appears the Symbionese Libertion Army (SLA) is getting ready to attack. The SLA has been viewed practicing marksmanship.....”

And I still don’t know what PKK means.

Heh.
