    I'd add it myself but there's no category for acronyms under "L."

    Re: Acronyms

    Please correct me if I'm wrong, but an acronym should be pronouncable as a word such "NASA" but not "FBI" which is an abbreviation.

    And please... no GFY responses

    Sorry for the geek-out.

    You only have to sit down at an NSX meet and hear people using the sound "WOT" to become truly confused. And that, sir, is why I started with acronyms and then added abbreviations.

    Re: Acronyms

    I suggest incorporating this FAQ entry: http://www.nsxprime.com/FAQ/Reference/glossary.htm

    (and possible renaming the wiki entry to Glossary)

    Re: Acronyms

    Good suggestion. Acronyms will now be migrated to Glossary. As I'll be traveling, this may take a week or two.
