I find that amongst the most confusing acronyms is the almost instance that
our USA (sorry United States of America) based posters use the 2 letter
United States Postal Service abbreviations for the names of very proud
states in their nation.
As yet I don't have any tree members that chose to go to /were sent to the
new world so I just ignore most of the post even when it includes one of
the
names I'm interested in.
Incidentally was born in Lincs went to Leics to live but visited my uncles
in Warks, Yorks, Salop & Herts before my parents & I moved to WA then SA
but
have visited Qld and have frunds un Un Zud and Soth Efrika.
Off my soap box now!

I believe that common courtesy would disallow the use of acronyms in
these messages? To make someone go to a website to translate a message
is imposing on others. I am a senior, as many listers are, not a 20 year
old using a handheld device to connect with my buddies. If the message
contains acronyms I simply delete without reading and continue on.
