Please - just once - put the full term in your posts. I read interesting posts but don't understand all the terminology or acronyms. It would help me enormously - thank you.

You could always ask what the abbreviation is if you don't know... I know I have.... you can't know them all

Agree with putting full names/words instead of acronyms. Not with looking them up or asking.

Agreed. I know I’m occasionally guilty of this, but people should try and make sure it’s explained at least once in the post/thread, before using it... I know I’m guilty usually with PF and not writing out peak flow (pf). I can hear my teachers having a go at my class about it every time I realise I’ve done it tho 😅😂😂
