Common DPC Abbreviations - DPChallenge Forums

Canon 12x IS USM (S3 IS built-in Lens) -- 36-432mm (35mm EQ)

On another thread,

Philthy posted the desire for a list of abbreviations commonly on DPC. I guess this is that thread. I'll start with the ones I know (or think I know). This list will also include abbreviations that are not necessarily specific to DPC but used a lot here. Obvious common ones like LOL and ROFL are not included because they're used EVERYWHERE. Feel free to add anything I missed. To keep it alphabetical, copy this list into your post, and insert your additions where it/they belongs, alphabetically.

BG - background
BW - black and white
DNMC - does not meet challenge
DQ - disqualification
FP - front page
HM - honorable mention
IDK - I don't know
IMHO - in my humble opinion

PB - personal best

WD - well done
WTG - way to go

As lots of you have noticed, and some of you have taken to mocking, I spend a bunch of time in the DPC forums...usually answering questions if I can. I decided to write up the answers to the questions that I seem to answer a lot in the hopes that it might be helpful. If nothing else, it'll save me from having to retype everything. This isn't an official resource, it hasn't been approved by the Site Council - it's just a list of how I'd answer a question if it came up in the forums. I make no guarantees about my accuracy although I think I'm generally mostly right. ;)

Comments, additions, questions, etc. welcome. Feel free to share if you think it's useful.

Maybe a contest to see who can get Langdon to make this thread "sticky" in the Welcome Center section ...?
