I am a poor typist. You can call my use of abbreviations and acronyms an "excuse" if you wish, but that doesn't do a thing to improve my typing skills. It really doesn't matter to me how long it takes you to type Dallas-Ft. Worth and Oklahoma City, unless you'll volunteer to come over and type my posts for me. Have I misunderstood? It seems that you're asking me (and others like me) to spend more time typing to save you time reading. What makes your time more valuable than ours?

You say you can't remember airport codes. That wouldn't be an excuse because you simply don't want to make the effort, would it?

I learned the language here, as have thousands of other members. Just give it a little time; it's really not that hard. There's a wealth of information on Flyer Talk. Even if you have to do a little studying to understand what everything means, it'll be worth it in the long run. Good luck.
