Maybe a daft question from a newbie, but...

My heartfelt thanks goes out to those that had the courage to ask the questions on the definitions of some of the terms used here that I had simply decided to roll along with and act as though I knew exactly what was being said, again, thanks.

Chris.

The abbreviations (SWK, USAK, etc.) are/were listed on the site somewhere.

Every culture, interest and profession develops it's own lingo either intentionally or just by common usage. One of the purposes is frequently to keep outsiders out. This group is no different. It's not that we want to keep anybody out, it's just that the language of our common interest is developing as we grow. I think that's a trait of the English language.
