We should put together a glossary of acronyms and make it a sticky or put it somewhere for people to reference.HWC, CC, HO, PC, TPC as opposed to TPC; it's all alphabet soup for some folks.
 
I agree about the acronyms. I work for the Gov't and they are just as bad some acronyms are the same letters but mean different things (depending on the group).

Sometimes I get a brain freeze and will look at a PC acronym and not know what it is.

That would be great KG! I look at the acronym for a while and usually I'll figure it out...
 
You have to look at the context, too, for example, TPC can be The Pampered Chef or Top Performance Cluster.Then there's all the non-TPC acronyms, too, like LMAO ROFL ROFLMFAO DH DS and DD.I thought that last one was more personal information than most people usually want to share but I was wrong.
 
I seem to remember a post on acronyms, etc. I will see if I can find it in search mode.
