But I just can't figure them out?!!!!? Can someone please make a list or something for me??? Thanks so much

Hi Sarah,

First, welcome to the board! Second, don't feel bad at all about not understanding us - we use so many abbreviations, I wouldn't expect anyone to be able to decipher our cryptic messages. To help you out, there is a link at the top of the board called "TTC/IF Acronym and Abbreviation List." Click on that and see if it helps you out some. If you have any questions (because I'm sure there are some abbrev. that aren't on there), feel free to ask away! Hope this helps!

Hi, I'm a SOI (=a member of Sisters of Irregularity, a group here) and a MA (Master of Arts) with a diploma in AL (Applied Linguistics). Since linguists study languages, I am quite informed about how abbr. function, and b/c (because) BFP and BFN are not explained in the link given to you by adc1228, I'm willing to inform you these are big fat positive and big fat negative.

Hope you get a bfp soon!
