Theres internet speak LOL, WTF, ROTF, ect.. thata basically a norm, but when your dealing with hypermiling/green techniques.. Its new to alot of people.. I'm not trying to be a whiny dickhead.. But everyone I refur to this site that I have gung ho on hypermiling gets discouraged because there are too many abbreviations..

why not do a setup where if the abbreviation pops up in a post, it automatically hyperlinks it so you can click and read what it stands for and what its all about?

I see that on other forums all the time..

that way no glossery needed..
