[QUOTE="Per Søvik, post: 82699, member: 1285"] Re: JCUBA or DCUBA. hmm, doesn't work. It is good manners to explain acronyms first time they are used in a text, Proper Use of Acronyms (PUA) or PUA (Proper Use of Acronyms), I can't remember now what is the preferred or POA standard of first use, but by applying PUA, one might easily be able to use acronyms extensively without making the reader feel like an idiot or make oneself come acrass as a total prat. Edit: Forgot to explain what POA means, it is short for "Mr. Søvik can't spell an acronym correctly more than twice in a row." [/QUOTE]
