simply dictionary for beginners

[jeddah]

Hi all,

Do we have some kind of dictionary here @simply?

I noticed many times that new comers(like me) or guest used to ask for the meaning of some short words like:

W/C = water changes
BW = blood worms
BBS = baby brine shrimp
CBW = california black worms
LFS = local fish shop
etc...etc...

Discus strain like:
PB = pigeon blood
BD = blue diamond
SS =........
etc....etc....

Any other short words like:
BTW =
HTH =

For those who make use of these short words could you pls post your input here, we might get surprised to find out there's a lot of them being used here but others does'nt know the meaning.

It does get confusing, doesn't it?
Check out the top thread in the Special Topics section. ;)

Hi Richman, Yes! thats what exactly I am looking for,
I believe it has to be here in "beginners..." where most of the newbies comes-in.

Many thanks for directing me.

Good idea! I've added a link to common abbreviations in the Beginners Index 8)
