Help I need an interpreter

[Richard Golde]

Just when I thought I had the language of turning down I am confronted with a new dialect. I know what HF and CA are but what is BLO and IMO? Any other commonly used acronyns? I knew I dropped out of school too soon or is it your never really out of school when it comes to learning.

BLO = boiled linseed oil
IMO = in my opinion
I know there is a list of these somewhere on the site. Hopefully someone has it saved and will post the location.

Acronyms can be tricky. By the time you figure out the more common chat ones, ones used in texting, and those specific to an activity like, say woodturning it can get a bit confusing.

OTOH, AFAIK, it's reasonable to assume u will be willing 2 google the unidentified acronym if u c it sevrl times. It can be a PITA but IIRC, there r sevrl sites dedicated to acronyms.

1 must use OCS to determine if an author is speaking of DNA or DNA in a woodturning context. Obviously, while on SMC DNA would be referring to Denatured Alcohol. (Although I must admit that several visitors to my shop raise an eyebrow at a container labeled "used DNA".
