When I first started to lurk on this site, i noticed a lot of T,L,A's being used, and being dyslexic these used to confuse the f*(k out of me! and some still do! Is there a list or can someone do a list for twoncks like me and newbies, to help ease us in to the wonderful world that is scoobynet.

As a member of CAT (Campaign Against TLA's), IMO, the use of TLA's should stop ASP.
