I do take your valid point. However, It can be monotonous having to write out in full on all posts though.
That’s the issue with a forum - it may have been written in full in earlier posts or explained elsewhere. Familiarity does help, but it can be a little bewildering just like working in IT!
soc - state of charge
gom - guessometer
lr - long range
hvac - heating ventilation air con
Picg - plug in car grant
abrp - a better route planner

[Pontyboy]

Thanks for that.
That clarifies a lot of abbreviations
Many thanks

And quickly followed by :-
What is a "Guess-O-Meter" and the sister model to the Long Range is NOT regarded as a "Short Range" but a "Standard Range" model.
It all becomes as clear as mud in time ! .

Acronyms are used by many to try to kid others into thinking that they know what they are talking about! IMHO…

And by other very educated people ( unlike me ) who do !.
Like in the medical profession for example ?.

When I joined my company (26 years ago) the first morning I went to the business unit director's weekly meeting. He spoke for about 30 minutes then asked for questions ... I put my hand up and asked "What did you actually just tell us?" ? (His talk was full of acronyms). His reply was "Don't worry - give it a few weeks and you'll understand". ?

 

[Cocijo]

Surprised that he didn’t say here‘a your P45!

It’s the same in main walks of life today !.
All across the world.
My 10 year old granddaughter speaks a street language I can’t understand ?.
When I ask what a word means, she tells me to get with it Grandad ?.
Get with what ???? .
Sign of growing old when you are not “down with kids” anymore ?.

It's the same with cultural references and the "kids" give you a blank stare.
A friend of mine was lecturing at a local college and Apollo 13 came up in the conversation. They didn't realise it was a true event or that some of us are old enough to remember it happening

I have a feeling that this has gone on since time immoral, sorry, immemorial - oh I don't know tho'?

I think I like the sound of time immoral, perhaps it will make a comeback.

Did you know that time immemorial is an actual date ?

One lives in hope! No, but I'm willing to be informed ?

TIME IMMEMORIAL Definition & Legal Meaning: Period way back in time where there is no recollection or record to prove a custom, right or claim. In UK a statute of the year 1275 saying that time before King Richard I reign or 1189 was declared to be time immemorial.
