If you continue to make up abbreviations, dont be snotty if someone occasionally asks for a translation.
If we are making up abbr i think we ought to call skymiles skypesos because SM could also mean SkyMall... so if we start calling delta's FF points SP would it catch on?
Please see my post above ... btw, totally unimpressed that with less than two months as a registered member, you are going to tell people posting here for years and having no problems conversing how they should change their habits to what? Accomodate laziness? Inability to look things up? Says a lot right there.
