First, it wasn't your post, so get over it. Second, using search shows a consideration for other members of the community. So, yes- you should do a search before posting, it's common courtesy. As for the lingo- of course one should read a bit and learn the lingo before jumping in lest one look like an idiot.
Cheers.
