Don't beat yourself up too bad - not knowing the abbreviations this well just means you'll have to do a little more writing or typing sometimes. And that occasionally you may need to ask what someone means when they use an abbreviation to talk to you...on second thought, maybe you should bone up on your abbreviation knowledge!
