i would never have thought that would need explanation - but, there you have it :)

Thanks. I'm old school so I'm not used to people abbreviating words that really don't need to be abbreviated. It really makes it easier to read a comment or a posting if people spell words the correct way.

Therein lies the rub. Language is different for everyone by degree - besides the language proper, sometimes it's dialect, sometimes it's words, sometimes it's abbreviation, but there are always differences in meanings. Your thought was that it doesn't need abbreviation. That was different than my thought. No worries.
